Talking with Extinct & Endangered Species:
An Arts Workshop During the Green Gary Celebration Saturday, April 26 Douglas Center for Environmental Education Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore 100 N. Lake St. Gary, IN During "Talking with Extinct and Endangered Species," we imagined what it would be like to talk with extinct and endangered species. We talked briefly about the Passenger Pigeon Project, and we read several poems about endangered and extinct animals. Each participant picked an endangered or extinct species and wrote a poem about that species and/or created a visual artwork inspired by that species.
