[BCNnet] Wild Things ideas and presenters needed

[bobolnk at ix.netcom.com]

The Wild Things conference team is putting together the program for the all-day Wild Things conference over the next few months.  We will have one all-day strand related to birds and bird conservation. We want to feature the things that will bring a great and lively crowd together, and we need your ideas.  Have you heard a great speaker lately?  Maybe you are doing something interesting yourself that we would like to know about, and could put together a presentation?  Or - is there a topic you think we'd all benefit from exploring, and you 'd like to suggest some potential panelists?  Here's the info -
