Bill Schutt is available to speak to your groups and his highly reviewed presentations can be tailored to fit the specific needs of any interest level or age that you require.

"Thank you so much for such an outstanding program. The audience loved it and as I was leaving the comments ranged from, 'fantastic' to 'best program you have booked so far', so I can safely say you are a hit and I hope you will consider coming back to speak for us in the future. Humor mixed in with facts, mixed in with audience engagement...great job." Additionally, Bill's alternative presentation, "Dark Banquet: Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood-Feeding Creatures" has been a huge hit a venues ranging from the Yale Peabody Museum and The American Museum of Natural History to public libraries, nature groups, schools and conferences.
