November Meeting Wednesday November 9th at Manistee Dial-a-Ride Building 7:00PM
Can
We Save Our Birds?
In
2014, just over 200 of North America’s birds were at risk of
extinction. Now, a mere two years later, that number has grown to
more than 430 avian species at risk of extinction. If this downward
slide continues, we could lose many of these beautiful creatures in
the next generation. Noted speaker, award winning writer and
Executive Director of Saving Birds Thru Habitat, Kay Charter views
the decline as a much more than a serious cause for concern. For
her, it is a clarion call to action, not just for birders, but for
all of us.
Join
her at 7PM on Wednesday evening, Nov. 9 at Manistee Dial-a-Ride (next
to the old Oleson’s store) for a presentation sponsored by Manistee
Audubon to learn about the hazards and challenges our wonderful birds
face. Charter will offer easy to follow recommendations on how every
person can make a difference for these amazing feathered creatures.
As
Executive Director of SBTH charter has presented her engaging and
informative programs to city governments, libraries, schools,
colleges, Audubon clubs, service organizations and garden groups
across the country. She was a featured speaker at the Missouri
Botanical Garden in St. Louis, the Cox Arboretum in Dayton, Morton
Arboretum near Chicago and the 2006 Rivers and Wildlife Festival in
Kearney, Nebraska. In 2007, she presented a seminar on the subject of
bird conservation to a standing room only crowd at the world renowned
Zoological Society of San Diego’s Center for Conservation and
Research for Endangered Species.
