EDUCATION

Wildlife Expert Dell Cullum has spoken to many groups, from pre-schoolers up to the 2019 Long Island Natural History Conference, with dozens of appearances in between. He shares his vast knowledge of our local wildlife, stressing compassion and understanding as they are faced with the burdens of the Town's progress and growth and the constant and continuous loss of habitat. He also teaches about the impact trash and debris has on the wildlife and how we can correct this life threatening issue.
He uses realistic stuffed animals with the children as well as his wildlife ambassador Athena, a blind Eastern Screech Owl that Dell cares for, and uses to educate folks about the beauty and importance of our wildlife. Nature clubs and wildlife friendly organizations get the pleasure of experiencing one of Dell's many slide presentations that he creates himself with his wonderful nature photography and filmmaking.
Dell produced a full length environmental documentary film in the Galapagos called, Isabela: a Green Explorer Expedition, which takes a close and unforgiving look at how human debris from the ocean has impacted the pristine islands of the Galapagos and their rare and endemic wildlife. Dell also produced and hosted his own wildlife television show on LTV East Hampton (Ch. 20) called Imagination Nature TV which ran for 5 years. He's written books about the historic Village Nature Trail and a children's series titled "The Wild Adventures of Scurry the Squirrel". It's presently in its 3rd volume and is yet another educational tool created by Dell Cullum. An animated version called "Dell Cullum's Wildlife Presentation" episodes 1 & 2 is now available.

Dell is available for all occasions and functions regarding education and instruction of wildlife and wildlife rescue. Contact him at Kachina35@gmail.com for more information and to book him for:

Oct. 14, 2021 - WROEH founder Dell Cullum returns to east hampton to Educate

Dell Cullum returned to his home town to speak to a couple groups about wildlife over a two day visit. He was invited to speak to the new residents of the Springs Clearwater Beach community about their local wildlife and better ways to live WITH wildlife rather than finding ways to eliminate them. Prior to Dell's arrival, he contacted both East Hampton Town and Village and offered to do the same in any forum they wished. The Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc and board members all thought this was a good opportunity to better educate the community and set up an outside picnic area for Dell to speak. The Village promoted the event to the residents of the Village and several people showed up on a beautiful fall afternoon.
