Jess Lancial, Story County Conservation
Located off the east coast of Africa, Madagascar is the world's fifth largest island and known as a hotspot for biodiversity highlighting endemic animals such as lemurs, fossas, chameleons, and flying fox bats. With 80% of its natural forests now gone, Madagascar is one of the fastest disappearing ecosystems on our planet. Join Naturalist, Jess Lancial as she shares stories and photography chronicling her month-long excursion through Madagascar and the unique landscapes, cultures, and wildlife she encountered.
(Older, Wiser, Livelier, Souls) programs are held each month at the Story County Conservation Center (56461 180th Street, Ames.) These are designed for "boomers" or older - but anyone can attend. There will not be lunch after the program. Coffee and tea will be available.
Our top priority has been and will
continue to be the health and well-being of the public and the staff. In
response to the ongoing development of COVID-19, Story County Conservation

and face coverings mandatory when social distancing is not possible or while
indoors. Pre-registration will
be required when group size needs to be limited due to the facility or location.
