FREE and open to all! Join the Linnaean Society of New York at 7pm, Tuesday, 10/12, for a special Zoom presentation, “Winemakers’ Wingmen: How Birds and Farmers Can Help Each Other,” by Sara Kross, Ph.D.
Did you know that today’s agricultural regions have the largest footprint of any terrestrial ecosystem on the planet? Often thought to be devoid of wildlife, these vast landscapes can, and should, sustain diverse and abundant populations of wildlife, especially birds. Come learn from Sara Kross, Ph.D., a conservation biologist and agroecologist with over a decade of research around the interactions between wildlife and agricultural landscapes. In her lecture, Dr. Kross will discuss the complex relationships between farmers and birds, how management practices can boost avian diversity, and share case studies based on her extensive research around New Zealand falcons, North American songbirds, and barn owls that co-exist on farms producing wine grapes, milk, and vegetables. This can be a sip & share event!
