*Friday, March 4th 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. *The Windham Regional Woodlands
Association and the Southeastern Vermont Audubon Society are sponsoring an
illustrated lecture "The Birds in Your Woods: How You Can Help Them" by Dr.
Robert E. Engel, locally well-known and distinguished Marlboro College
Professor of Biology Emeritus. This presentation is especially timely
because the welfare of many of our beloved ground-nesting and other
forest-dependent birds — sadly including our State bird, the Hermit Thrush
– is increasingly challenged due, in part, to neglect or mismanagement of
our forest land. Engel will discuss the important role that our woodland
birds, including thrushes, warblers, flycatchers, grouse, woodpeckers,
owls, and hawks, play in that ecosystem. Most importantly, he will point
out some straight-forward management approaches to help us restore and
maintain our local woodlands for these valued birds. The program will be
held at the Vermont Learning Collaborative, located at 471 Route 5 in
Dummerston. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and the event is free and
open to the public. For more information, contact Arthur Westing at
802-387-2152 or westing@sover.net.
