EASL Donates Books to Ascension Parish Library
March 26, 2012 By
Thanks to Joe Herring, EASL was able to donate seven books related to birding to the Ascension Parish Library in March. These books will serve to educate young and old alike on the importance of our native birds here in south Louisiana and the job we have of preserving their habitat. Angelle Deshautelles accepted the books on behalf of APL, which were presented by EASL President, Wesley Johnson.
