Outstanding Contributions

Hernando County may soon become famous through the hard work and determination of Brian Brijbag. Mr. Brijbag has done in-depth research of the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker and has gotten the attention of WEDU / Tampa for a future program to promote arts, nature and conservation. Mr. Brijbad is working on a 60-minute program about the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker that is meant to entertain and educate the public. The sandhill terrain of the Withlacoochee State Forest is the home to these endangered Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers. Grants have been applied for to promote this project for this WEDU broadcast and hopefully it will picked up as a national program through PBS. Mr. Brijbad is a current member of the Hernando County Fine Arts Council, the host of Hernando Culture (seen on the local Brighthouse channel 19), an Adjunct Professor at PHCC and on the Bandshell Bash Committee. Mr. Brijbag was also recently hired as the new Re-development Coordinator for the city of Brooksville. Everyone should be very pleased to have Brian Brijbag in our community for his outstanding contributions countywide.

Thank you for posting this. I, too, appreciate all of Brian Brijbag's contributions to Hernando County and the City of Brooksville. As emcee of the Bandshell Bash, he has made that event especially fun and enjoyable. Thanks to him and all who work with him on his many endeavors!

We have so many wonderful people in Hernando County like Brian. It was my pleasure to highlight just a small portion of Brian's contribution to our community.
