WHAT OUR ATTENDEES ARE SAYING:

* "Michael is one of the most popular presenters that we have for our Texas Master Naturalist training classes, and we learn so much from him! His humor and enthusiasm are perfect for keeping a group of self-proclaimed nature nerds engaged and amazed. The live animals are the highlight of training, and with so much knowledge and experience, he can answer even the most obscure, specific question for us. The Master Naturalists are fortunate to have Michael as a resource!" - Emily Hansen, Texas Master Naturalist, Capital Area

* "Michael's enthusiasm for and dedication towards all Texas wildlife is very evident in his presentations and field sessions. We at Llano Estacado Texas Master Naturalists especially look forward to his herpetology presentations which are uniquely suited for our West Texas habitats. Both adults and children are enthralled with his live specimens and expert field guidance. We highly recommend him to everyone!" - Susan May, Texas Master Naturalist, Llano Estacado Chapter
