Please join the Community Wildlife Program's fall webinar series this Wednesday the 26th from 2-3pm for, Alive in the Fields: Understanding Grassland Bird Habitat and Protection.

Did you know that Vermont is home to eleven species of grassland birds? Did you know that five of these are listed as Threatened or Endangered and the other six are listed as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN)? That means that many towns across the state need to understand more about these species and their habitats and how to plan land use in a way that works for these species. Join Fish & Wildlife Department Bird Project Leader Doug Morin to learn more about this important topic and what towns can do to protect this piece of natural heritage.

Presenters:

* Doug Morin, Bird Project Leader, VT Fish and Wildlife Department
* Jens Hilke, Conservation Planner, VT Fish and Wildlife Department

This webinar will be offered on the following two dates:

* Session 1: October 26th, 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
