These files make up the core of the workshops developed by NYBC. The majority of the photographs are from locations in New York State. Each of the slides is annotated to facilitate the use of the presentation by various presenters. The files are provided in four sections, each of which can be used as a stand alone presentation or as part of a complete program. Each section is described as follows:

Slides 1-24
