The American Burying Beetle is an iconic figure in the history of the Endangered Species Act. Attendees will learn how this species, once prevalent throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada, was lost, and how a dedicated team of researchers is working to bring it back to its historic homeland.

The program will take place at the Elm Park United Methodist Church, 401 Chestnut Street, Oneonta. Attendees are encouraged to arrive between 7 and 7:20 p.m. The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available.
