Endangered Species - Anthony Caldwell
Join Wildlife Educator, Anthony Caldwell, for a program on the earth's fauna and flora and the danger they are in of disappearing, never to be
enjoyed by future generations. Why is it so important to protect our
world and the life on it? We'll explore the answers to that question. Find out what you can do to help and meet live animals as well.

Evolution in the 21st Century

Nature Preserve, Yonkers

and social gathering from 7-7:30 PM, followed promptly by the

Darwin’s 19th century idea that organisms evolve through natural selection has not only survived 150 years of scientific scrutiny, but is at the center of 21st century biology. Join Dr. Saul Scheinbach as he shows us why, “Nothing in biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution”.
