Birds Across New England: AUDUBON REGIONAL CONSERVATION SYMPOSIUM

The premise is simple: the more you know, the more you can do to help our birds. This symposium will provide you with information about what is being done to save our birds and what obstacles stand in the way of conservation success.

Join the Audubon Society of Rhode Island for an inaugural conservation symposium on birds as scientists from throughout New England share research in an easy-to-understand manner.

• Are you concerned about how birds are faring across New England?
• Are you interested in ongoing research to better understand our bird populations and the major conservation issues they face?
• Is accessing research data in an easy-to-understand manner important to you?

Beginning with a keynote address in the morning, concurrent sessions will cover topics concerning saltmarsh and coastal bird species, eastern forest health, bird tracking technologies, and large-scale demographic projects aimed at determining the size and health of bird populations throughout New England.

Audubon Society of Rhode Island will also unveil its first comprehensive “State of Our Birds” report. Derived from the past year of data collection, the report will offer a full accounting of species across our wildlife refuges and will provide conservation recommendations for specific bird populations and habitats.

The symposium is limited to 80 people, please register today to ensure your attendance is secured. Coffee, snacks, and lunch will be provided.

After the event, join the presenters for a social hour from 5-6 pm at Ragged Island Brewery in Portsmouth, RI. Select the "After-hours" add-on option, which includes light refreshments and 1 drink ticket.
