This month’s Citizen Scientist Project Lunch and Learn presentation will highlight Pelican Harbor Seabird Station (PHSS)'s work in rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife.
Founded in 1980, PHSS is Miami's native wildlife hospital. It rehabilitates sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife and releases them into their natural environments.
Hannah McDougall, Director of Communications at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, will lead the lunch and learn session on March 28. McDougall will discuss the vital work PHSS is doing in our community, including ways you can help protect our local wildlife.
McDougall graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology and a minor in Biological Sciences. She was introduced to wildlife rehabilitation through an internship at the Mercer County Wildlife Center, where she later became a staff member. Part of her responsibility at PHSS is creating and fostering meaningful community relationships.
She also serves on the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association board, which is dedicated to improving and promoting the profession of wildlife rehabilitation and its contributions to preserving natural ecosystems.
The Lunch and Learn, catered by Milanezza, will be on March 28, starting at noon in the Island Room at the Key Biscayne Community Center. RSVP at the Community Center’s front desk or call (305) 365-8900.
The KBCF created the Citizen Science Program to educate the public with meaningful community programming.
