Joppa Flats Education Center’s education coordinator David Larson will present a slide program and lecture, “Washington’s Olympic Peninsula,” at Mass Audubon’s Joppa Flats Education Center on Wednesday, May 12, at 7:30 p.m.
On a trip to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State last September, David Larson photographed the area’s beautiful scenery, birds, and other wildlife. Combining shore, pelagic, forest, and mountain habitats, this is a wonderful destination for birders, naturalists, and aesthetes.
