We have programs about birds and the environment

Need a program for your group’s monthly meeting or annual dinner? The Backyard Naturalist can help! We offer speakers-bureau-style programs about birds and the environment for all interest levels, from easy to more complex.

Our programs feature great photos of birds and local landscapes, as well as information about feeding birds and attracting them to your yard, when and where to find owls or tiny warblers, and why the Chagrin River Valley is such an important natural resource for our area.

Programs are given free of charge and can be scheduled at the time and location of your choice, depending on the availability of the speaker. Our current programs are listed below.  Be sure to check back often as we will be adding more programs as they become available.
