Join Green Mountain Audubon Society for an online presentation on grassland birds this Thursday from 6:30 - 7:30 pm with Hyla Howe. Visit the link in this post to register!
Hyla Howe is a graduate student at the University of Vermont's Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources working with Dr. Allan Strong. Hyla has spent the last three summers studying Bobolinks and other grassland birds in the Champlain Valley, Eastern High Peaks, and Tri-Lakes regions of the Adirondacks. Her interdisciplinary examination of Bobolink populations and farmer attitudes toward grassland bird conservation aims to inform more effective outreach and incentive programs. In the final semester of her M.S. degree, Hyla is excited to tell the story of the delicate and complex relationship between the farmers and birds that have become linked by changing regional land use patterns, and the ways that we can best support them. Join us on Zoom for this great program!
