Join Wachiska Audubon on Thursday, August 12, to hear more about sandhill cranes and other early spring birds from Dr. Paul Johnsgard, UNL ornithology professor emeritus.

Dr. Johnsgard has written over 50 books on nature topics, many of them about birds and their habitats.

The public is invited to this free presentation. Refreshments will be served after the program.


August Field Trip:

Sunrise Visit to North Lake Basin

Sunday, August 22, 5:30 a.m.

Located near Utica, North Lake Basin Wildlife Management Area consistently attracts visiting wading birds and more.

Our early start will give us time to visit one or two additional wetlands nearby. 

The public is invited to join Wachiska Audubon on Sunday, August 22, at 5:30 a.m. at 15th and "H" streets (on the south side of the State Capitol by the governor's mansion) where we will meet to carpool and caravan.

Book Discussion:
Brandraising

by Linda R. Brown

Thursday, August 19,
7:00 p.m.

3745 Garfield Street, Lincoln

I first puzzled over the term "branding" during Wachiska's Vision Quest, the Board strategic planning process facilitated by Rick Carter last winter.

I ordered the 2010 book, Brandraising, by Sarah Durham when I learned that the book answered questions of how nonprofits raise visibility and money through smart communications.

After reading this book, I believe it is a must read for every leader of a nonprofit organization.

Call or email me if you want to participate in a discussion of this book on Thursday, August 19, at 7:00 p.m. at my home, 3745 Garfield Street in Lincoln. Contact me at 489-2381; lindar1brown@gmail.com
