A Journeyman Birder’s Retrospective (Backyard Naturalist)
October 3, 2015 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Mike Sustin, National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow
In 2012 Mike was chosen by the National Geographic Society to be one of 14 Grosvenor Teacher Fellows. He was given the responsibility of acting as an ambassador for geography and environmental education while aboard the ship, National Geographic Discovery. They cruised the waters of the Barents Sea and hiked the shores of the Svalbard Archipelago roughly 600 miles away from the North Pole.
Since then, he has had some amazing travel experiences in which birding has played a significant role. He has introduced teens from northeast Ohio to the birds of Wyoming, Costa Rica and Maine. This summer he was a student in a marine science class in Australia. Even though the focus of the course was coral reef health, he always had one eye on the sky.
