Think habitat loss as it affects bird populations is too big an issue to tackle? Think again! Audubon Minnesota is bringing together experts from many fields to probe the good, the bad and the ugly in our region’s ecosystems—and to offer solutions. Learn more about grasslands, wetlands and forests and how we can make them more hospitable to birds. 

 

Friday cap off a day-long session about the importance of the Mississippi River Flyway with a sternwheeler river excursion; laugh along with a true river rat, Kenny Salwey, as he describes a lifetime of living and working on the river.  Saturday evening hear scientist and author Bridget Stutchbury explore whether migratory songbirds are “canaries in the coal mine” and Sunday morning hear National Audubon Society President John Flicker and University of Minnesota’s climatologist and author of Minnesota Weather Almanac, Dr. Mark Seeley, discuss global warming and what you can do about it.
