Next Monday, February 14, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Lilly Briggs, PhD, will be giving her presentation, "What is Finca Cantaros Environmental Association? - And how is it supporting bird conservation in Coto Brus, Costa Rica?" Monday, February 14, 2022, 7:30–9 pm Register in advance for the webinar/meeting: https://tinyurl.com/cbc2022-02 Finca Cántaros Environmental Association (FCEA) is a nonprofit environmental organization founded and directed by Lilly Briggs, PhD, former Postdoctoral Associate with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Established in Canada, FCEA is physically based in a southern rural county of Costa Rica called Coto Brus, where Lilly and her team strive to achieve their mission of "creating community and inspiring action through environmental education." FCEA's many environmental education projects address a variety of themes—from gender to bats to nature connection through art—as well as bird conservation. This talk will focus on how FCEA supports bird conservation through the Cornell Lab's K-12 Education International curriculum, tree-growing initiatives, and research collaborations such as the Motus Wildlife Tracking System. Lilly Briggs did her PhD in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University with a focus on environmental education and the human dimensions of conservation, followed by a Postdoctoral Associate position at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. During her Masters of Environmental Studies (at York University, Toronto), PhD, and postdoctoral years, she collaborated with the Cornell Lab to adapt its K-12 environmental education curriculum for Latin American audiences, and expand the program's reach through educator workshops and research. Her involvement with the development of BirdSleuth International led her to Coto Brus, Costa Rica, where she became enamored with the birds, people and a special reforested property called Finca Cántaros. She bought Finca Cántaros and moved there permanently in 2019 and converted it into Finca Cántaros Environmental Association in 2020 (https://fincacantaros.org/).Cayuga Bird Club meetings start at 7:30 pm on the second Monday of each month, September through June, and are open to the public. Each virtual meeting will begin with the speaker's presentation, followed by club business.
