Tropical Audubon Society members and friends are invited to celebrate local conservation heroes, and hear from our headliner Louis Aguirre, Emmy-award-winning WPLG Local 10 News Anchor and a passionate environmentalist, who will deliver the Keynote speech titled “The Accidental Advocate.” He’ll talk about why education and messaging are crucial to saving and restoring South Florida’s most precious habitats, his transition from an entertainment reporter to environmental journalist, and his Don’t Trash Our Treasure series (designed to enlighten and engage viewers about doing their part to save our challenged ecosystems).

Attendees can also take a bird walk (it’s Spring Migration!), savor Sports Grill sliders, Bird Bar libations and enjoy live music by local sensation “Ricky Valido & The Hialeah Hillbillies.”  Between bites attendees can duck inside the Historic Doc Thomas House to browse and bid on a tempting array of Silent Auction items.

A Conservation Awards Ceremony hosted by TAS President José Francisco Barros will follow Aguirre’s Keynote address. The ceremony will recognize outstanding environmental role models in their respective fields of endeavor. These citizen volunteers and public servants have dedicated themselves to protecting and preserving area wildlife, critical habitat and/or our region’s natural resources.
