The meeting on February 8th will be presented by Judit Green and will describe the Urban Wildlife Management & Planning Conference to be held in Austin May 21-25. The AAMN is a Silver Sponsor and Judit will discuss how the chapter can be involved. This international conference will bring urban planners, architects, wildlife biologist, researchers, educations and municipalities together to help plan and design urban communities that provide natural open green space that mutually benefits people and wildlife. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a progressive movement to better design our urban environment. Come hear how we can be involved. Click here for details about the conference.

Using living and dead specimens, he will help us identify different fish families and member species within each family. Come hear about diversity of fishes, some amazing physiology facts, humorous common naming, general ID techniques, and ways to group by body shape. It will be a very informative and entertaining class.
