Master Naturalist DVD's Available!
One of many enthusiastic presenters of the Master Naturalist Program makes her point!
Steve Nycz announces below the avalability of DVD's and VHS tapes of almost all MN presentatations from 2003 and 2004:
"Here is list of the Master Naturalist Program Presentations that have been recorded on videotape and that are available for reviewing. If a presentation is not on this list, it was not recorded.
These are recorded on what is known as DVD+R disks. Some older and/or less expensive DVD players may not be able to play DVD+R disks. Nonetheless, they should play on all computers with a DVD reader.
There are a number of the presentations from 2003 available on VHS tape. These VHS tapes are NOT EDITED and are not as viewable as the DVD versions.
If you have a DVD recorder, please feel free to make a copy for your own records.
I am not set up to make VHS tapes right now. If you only have a VCR, and you want to be able to review presentations from 2004, please let me know. If there is enough need I will borrow a VCR and start making more presentations available on tape.
Please address all comments, criticisms, suggestions to:spynycz@attglobal.net
I mean it. I’m new at this videography and would appreciate any creative ideas that will help make the recordings better in the future."
