Want to listen to and learn about nature without having to leave home? Join Field Trip Leader Amy Sugeno on a short bird and plant walk around her home in Round Mountain. Video taken the morning of March 26, 2020.

Amy Sugeno was a wildlife biologist for over 16 years before changing careers to become a social worker and trauma therapist. She spent most of her biology career working with bats, songbirds and waterfowl, and rare species with TPWD, The Nature Conservancy, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Amy has always loved teaching people about nature, especially birds and bats, and she now regularly leads birding walks with TAS and the Balcones Songbird Festival. She has also recently led birding and nature walks with Westcave, El Ranchito, Dripping Springs Birding Club, and Friends of Balcones NWR. Amy now primarily works as an ecotherapist, leading mindfulness in nature walks and retreats and teaching clinical ecotherapy to other therapists throughout Texas as well as out-of-state.
