Join the Friends of Parker River National Wildlife Refuge for a compelling lecture presented by David Williams, a renowned naturalist, educator, and seasoned bird walk leader. This event is part of our ongoing “Friends of Parker River Presents” series, focusing on crucial conservation topics.

David Williams brings his extensive experience and passion for natural sciences to discuss the remarkable recovery stories of four key species: the Bald Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Osprey, and Wild Turkey. Once on the brink of extinction in Massachusetts, these species have made triumphant comebacks thanks to concerted conservation efforts.
