Wimberley Birding Society

Join Lee Ann Linam for an inspiring look at how local communities with few resources are working to conserve birds in Zimbabwe. The presentation will focus on the Driefontein Grasslands where four local bird groups work to preserve a wetland-grassland complex that supports wattled cranes, grey crowned cranes, secretarybirds, kori bustards, and a host of other species. Learn how Bridges to Birding, a non-profit started by Lee Ann and her husband Gordon, supports local initiatives and offers ecotourism opportunities. Lee Ann is a WBS member and a wildlife biologist retired from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Her work with TPWD focused on wetlands and rare species, including a long connection to whooping crane conservation efforts in the state.
