What: Migration Stewardship: Beyond Borders
We are gearing up for the fourth Migration Stewardship: Beyond Borders event at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge Complex.  Last year was a huge success with over 400 students.

We would like to extend a sincere "thank you" for being a partner, through continued partnerships we can foster an appreciation for the natural world and encourage the youth of today to become our stewards of tomorrow.

Please let us know what topic you prefer. Anything that migrates can be a topic, even earth worms (anyone up for vertical migration?).  Scroll below to view past presentations.

Reply to this email and fax over the attached confirmation sheet by March 3, 2008.  Please indicate yes I am able to participate or no I am unable to participate in your correspondence.
