ENTOMOLOGY & ENVIRONMENTAL PRESENTATIONS & EVENTS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Please contact me<\/a> for current updates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steven R Kutcher MA, is a world-famous entomologist and environmentalist (Please see his Biography<\/a>). He has given hundreds of environmental talks in different venues, including schools (from kindergarten through graduate school) and civic groups. His work as a teacher and in the entertainment field has worldwide recognition. Below is a list of possible speaking topics. Please contact him for details as well as other possible topics.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Over the years, I have appeared and spoken at such venues as the Santa Fe Film Festival, the San Diego Bird Festival, various Audubon and Sierra Club workshops, Los Angeles Environmental Education Fairs, Topanga Docents meetings, the annual Insect Fair at the L.A. County Arboretum (here in Arcadia), various universities and libraries as well as museums and nature centers nationwide, and the annual Bug Fair \u2014 which I helped found \u2014 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. Please contact me<\/a><\/b> if you’d like to arrange an appearance with your group.<\/p>\n
