The History Center welcomes Florida Wildlife Corridor team member and conservationist Mallory Lykes Dimmitt for a free lecture and book signing on Wednesday, May 1 from 5:30 - 7pm.

Dimmitt will share her perspective as the project coordinator for the recently-completed Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition, and as the only female member of the team that trekked 1,000 miles in 100 days to raise awareness for protecting Florida's natural wildlife corridors.

Dimmitt, who holds a Masters of Environmental Management (MEM) in Environmental Economics and Policy from Duke University’s Nicholas School of Environment, currently serves as the executive director of LINC, whose mission is to celebrate and protect Florida's natural and cultural heritage through art.

Her talk at the History Center is free and open to the public and includes a book signing from 5:30 to 6:30 with fellow Wildlife Corridor team member Carlton Ward Jr. For more information, call (813) 228-0097.
