The Staten Island Dragonfly Atlas (SIDA) is happy to announce some workshops during the 2009 season. Everyone who is interested in learning about Staten Island's Dragonflies, and how to be a part of the SIDA survey team is welcome to attend any, or all workshops. Workshops will be split between an indoor lecture about dragonflies, and an outdoor season with dragonfly experts. Workshops have been planned to coincide with "flight-periods" of the various species.
