Mrs. Lori Bailey, an educator with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, was the first speaker in our Conservation Education Guest Lecture series at DES.
She talked to the students about alligators, turtles and their habitats. She also talked about how important conservation education is for not only students, but adults as well!
The high light of her visit was when she brought out the baby alligator and turtle! The students loved learning and visiting with Mrs. Lori!
