Buffalo National River Partners welcomes Mike Simpson, Buffalo National River Interpretive Ranger, who will present "Canary in the Coal Mine," at the Boone County Library, May 28, 5:30 p.m. This program is designed to open a dialogue on the emotional topic of climate change, to explain the basic recipe for the atmosphere and radiant sunlight that sustains all life, to show a few examples of observed changes in our national parks and to explain how we can lower our individual and collective "carbon footprints". The library is located at 221 W. Stephenson in Harrison.
Mike Simpson has been with the National Park Service for fifteen years and at Buffalo River for the past three as the lower district interpretive ranger and park volunteer coordinator. He is a graduate of Missouri State University in Springfield and lives in Yellville with his wife and teenage daughter and son.
