A Tribute to Margit Worsham

Watch the video tribute here

When any of us at Discover Life in America see a firefly, we will be reminded of our friend and generous supporter, Margit Worsham.

Thanks to Margit’s leadership, vision and heart, we will continue expand our biodiversity conservation work in the region. From all of us—thank you, Margit. Your impact will be felt far beyond today.
