Join us for a live Bay Nature Talk at the David Brower Center in Berkeley on Thursday, August 22 from 6:30 – 8:30pm with photographer Stefan Thuilot on the closing night of his California Forest Project exhibition.

After a brief presentation, Thuilot will be joined by Obi Kaufmann, Joe McBride, and Adina Merenlender for a panel discussion on the importance of California's forests and the work of naturalists and photographers to highlight these critical landscapes. Light refreshments will be available.
