OWBC: Opening the Door to a New Chapter

July 9 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition: Opening the Door to a New Chapter at Lac Lawrann and on Zoom

In 2023, Dan and Samantha Scheiman moved from Arkansas to Door County. Door County is an increasingly popular vacation destination, renowned for its nature and outdoor opportunities (not to mention its cherries). Dan works at one of those natural areas, The Ridges Sanctuary, a land trust that focuses on preservation, education, and research. The Ridges protects over 1700 acres that harbor a rare ridge-and-swale system, 29 native orchids, and federally threatened and endangered species. Dan will talk about the county, The Ridges, and his ongoing pursuit of birds, butterflies, orchids, and more.

Dr. Scheiman is the Visitor Engagement Specialist at The Ridges Sanctuary. Previously, he worked for the National Audubon Society at the Little Rock (Arkansas) Audubon Center. He was vice president of his Audubon chapter and an eBird reviewer. Dan has a B.S. from Cornell University, an M.S. from Eastern Illinois University, and a Ph.D. from Purdue University.
