Enjoying Plano’s Beautiful Outdoors

Our Featured Speaker, Ernie Stokely


Our guest speaker for April is Master Naturalist Ernie Stokely. He will be speaking about the beautiful nature right here in our own Plano parks, namely Arbor Hills. With spring here, he will point out all the lovely plants and wildflowers that are right here in our backyard. 

Ernie is currently a member of the Blackland Prairies and Timbers Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists located in McKinney, Texas. He is an avid birder and hiker. Likewise, he continues to learn about native plants, animals, and the environment. He also stays busy volunteering as a trail guide, Heard Museum butterfly docent, and leading nature walks at Arbor Hills. His other volunteer activities have included installing identification signage on trees at Spring Creek Nature Area, volunteering at Plano Heritage Farmstead Museum, and instructing a Girls Who Code class for the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas.

Ernie has an extensive science and nature background. He received his M.S. from SMU and his Ph. D from UT Southwestern Medical School in biomedical engineering. During his career in medical imaging research at the University of Alabama Birmingham, he published over eighty-five papers and coauthored seventeen book chapters.
