Public speaking is a skill feared by most people. However, when safely handled during a presentation, live animals (such as turtles, salamanders, and non-venomous snakes) can take the attention off of the presenter and make his or her style more conversational. Come join Ranger Nick, a Professor and Associate Dean at UGA, as he shares techniques for using live animals as ambassadors of environmental messages. He will also share tips for encouraging positive, pro-environmental behavior change as a speaker.
