For April 10th we are excited to have Danny Osborne back to speak and bring animals friends with him. Danny is the Assistant Wildlife Director of the Star Eco Station. You won't want to miss this as this will be a very interesting presentation.
Danny Osborne
Danny grew up in Venice CA, as a youth he spent hours in his grandparents' backyard catching insects and other invertebrates, and observing them sparked an interest in animals and nature. At the age of 5 he accompanied a friend and his father to capture and relocate a baby rattlesnake, and has been fascinated with reptiles ever since. As time progressed, so did his interest in wildlife, which led to spending much of his time hiking and visiting the local pet shop. In high school Danny volunteered at Park and Rec center, where he was a basketball coach for a team of kindergartners; after this fulfilling experience he soon knew that he had a passion for working with children. Danny spent the majority of a summer in high school on an ostrich and emu farm, giving him his first experience working with exotic animals. Upon graduating from high school he embarked on a path of service, clearing and maintaining hiking trails in Ojai, CA. Shortly after his time in Ojai, he began studies at Santa Monica College. Danny would often speak with a friend that raved about his job caring for exotic wildlife and educating the youth and public about the importance of wildlife and our impact on them, and our planet. Danny was amazed that his friend was employed by a company that specialized in two of his greatest passions. When he was informed that the Star Eco Station was hiring, he jumped at the chance to pursue a career involving both wildlife and education. Working at the Star Eco Station has given Danny the opportunity to enrich the lives of countless animals and students throughout the years. Before the pandemic Danny was the Zoology teacher at the Star Prep academy. Unfortunately the school ceased operation during the heart of the pandemic. Danny then took on the role of the Assistant Wildlife Director of the Star Eco Station. In his spare time Danny enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, tide pooling, and golfing.
