Audubon’s Visual Legacy


Special Program
with David Yarnold

Wednesday, 24 June, 2015
Free but non-members must RSVP

Audubon's visual legacy: how Audubon posts photographs at the center of its new    website -- and how one CEO uses pictures as his social media tool.

David Yarnold, an award-winning photojournalist, has been CEO of the National Audubon Society since 2010. He posts his pictures on social media and he puts photographs at the heart of the 108-year-old organization's acclaimed new web site.

David will show images from Audubon's web site and he'll share his pictures from the Galapagos Islands and South America.
