5PM social hour and exhibit exploration

6:30PM presentation

For 30 years, acclaimed photographer and Nebraska native Michael Forsberg has captured the Great Plains through a camera lens, sharing a unique perspective of what was once one of Earth’s greatest grassland ecosystems. Through captivating images from his work, Forsberg will share with guests his lifelong journey following North America’s cranes up and down the Central Flyway and the ever-changing water resources of the region. See how stories and imagery that, when shared, have the power to elevate science and transcend politics to help each of us connect personally, care deeply and understand what’s at stake in preserving the nation’s heartland. This conversation will be moderated by Amy Sandeen, the Outreach and Special Events Manager with Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center in Wood River, Nebraska.

Start the evening with a social hour and exploration of our two featured exhibitions, “Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall” and “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.” The social hour includes light hors d’oeuvres and cash bar.
