SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Kevin Huntley
DESCRIPTION:What’s Buzz’n in Humboldt? \nSince my founding in 1989\, I have been researching the insect kingdom. My lifelong passion for these amazing animals has led me to develop several educational programs for the public. My first program was developed in 2013 for Wyndham in Sedona\, Arizona. I was later recognized for my unique talents by the California State Parks where I was allowed to create new insect programs for the Northern Redwoods District starting the summer of 2024 where my success has led me to pursue my dream as an independent insect educator. \nRegister for the meeting here.
