Programs will be held on the third Thursday of each month at 3:00 pm or 6:00 pm at the Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center. Please sign up for the time that works best for you.

In partnership with Greater Ozarks Audubon Society, we bring you Donna Posont. Donna, who is blind, helps blind and visually impaired individuals to gain confidence in their abilities to use all available senses to interpret the natural world. She is an alumna of the University of Michigan-Dearborn where she founded and leads a monthly program called Birding by Ear and Beyond. She describes the world as “designed for sighted people, but nature is a place where it’s okay to be blind.” Learn from her on how you can use your other senses to learn why birds and nature are important and how birding is for everyone.
