Speaker Series Underway at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park

“Dolphins: An Intimate Glimpse at an Aquatic Society,” was the title of an intriguing presentation by Denise Herzing, founder / research director of the Wild Dolphin Project, recently at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park in North Palm Beach, next to Lost Tree Village.

The presentation explored the Project’s long-term study of the Atlantic spotted dolphin and took place in the Pew Family Natural Science Education Classroom. The Speaker Series continues March 2, when Ed Petuch discusses “Geology of the South Florida Coastline.” Because space is limited, guests are asked to call ahead for reservations at 561-776-7449, Ext. 104.

The Speaker Series is a program of the Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park, and proceeds from the $5 admission go to support the programs at the Pew Family Natural Science Education Classroom. All residents with homes in Palm Beach County are invited to attend. Time is 11 a.m. to noon.
