[CINC] La Patera Science Night 11/6/08

[Deb4nb at aol.com]

Hi All,
 
Howard Fisher and I had the pleasure of enticing future Photo IDers at the La 
Patera School Science night on Thursday 11/6/08.
 
We had the whale research "lab" set up in one area, along with our 
CINMS/CINPS information table across the path.  There was a bit of distraction in the 
classroom shared with the UCSB Marine Science Institute touch tank; however our 
"Welcome to the Channel Islands," and Howard's friendly "Step right up" 
attitude lured curious minds. 
 
Next door was the Turtle Dreams exhibit staffed by a very dedicated SB woman 
who takes in abandoned pets or injured reptiles, etc.  The star of the night 
was a very large steward iguana named Zoe, plus a boa, tortoise, pond turtles, 
and others.
 
For those of you who haven't participated in a Science Night, I highly 
recommend it.  Sharing resource knowledge with
impressionable young ones will surely elevate the Naturalist groove!
 
Debra
