Past ST&T

July’s ST&T will focus on “Birding: aka Dinosaur Hunting” hosted by Jason Ward .

Jason Ward is a birder, writer, and Outreach Coordinator for the National Audubon Society. Born and raised in The Bronx, NYC, his love for wildlife began at a young age when he fell in love with dinosaurs. This infatuation provided him with an escape from childhood obstacles. Now, he gets to share his love for modern-day dinosaurs with the public, in his web series; “Birds of North America”.

Jason’s mission is to change the way the public views wildlife, and to blaze a trail for future generations of children growing up in underserved communities.
