EEAA will be sponsoring a very special members’ trip this June and you could be one of the lucky ones if you hurry!!! After several years, EEAA will be returning to the Lubee Bat Conservancy in Gainesville, Florida and will be helping cover costs for 10 members to go. The program at Lubee will he held June 11-13, and EEAA will cover most of the cost of the program for 10 EEAA members to attend.

EEAA is partnering with Legacy, Inc. and ALAPARC to provide several environmental education workshops around the state of Alabama focused on reptiles and amphibians. We mentioned this workshop series in the last newsletter but now the first one has been scheduled. The first Hooray for Herps workshop will take place this spring at the Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center in Andalusia, Alabama on Saturday, March 13, 2010.

Join Heather Montgomery and Dr. Jim Lacefield (the man who wrote the book on Alabama Geology) to explore the natural wonders of northwestern Alabama on April 17th! We'll go in search of the elusive yellow lady slipper in Cane Creek Preserve and then collect fossils such as crinoids, fenestella, brachiopods and hopefully blastoids and horn coral, too!
