(16-Adult) Dogs are well known for their powerful noses, and those sniffing superpowers are proving to be invaluable for conservation efforts.

Join Laura Holder, founder of Conservation Dogs Collective, for an inside look at the groundbreaking work her team of canine conservationists is doing. These specially trained dogs are using their powerful noses to locate endangered species like bumblebee nests and turtles, playing a vital role in wildlife preservation. They're also helping to detect and eradicate invasive plant species and improving the health of our ecosystem.

Come learn more about how these incredible dogs are protecting the natural world. Lecture is held online with an option to watch at the Horticulture Center. A link for the program will be emailed no later than the morning of the event.
