Saving the World by Saving Birds
10:30am in person and on YouTube

A world that works for birds — whose migrations span tens of thousands of miles, and reach almost every corner of the planet — will work for every living thing, including us. Writer and migration researcher Scott Weidensaul will share some of the inspiring work that is happening around the world to safeguard and restore bird populations, and which can serve as a roadmap for recovery. Please join us for our annual Earth Day service.

Birds – The Gateway to Conservation Action
A presentation by Scott and Amy Weidensaul
Sanctuary, 1pm

With federal support for protection of the environment waning, it falls to us to work together locally to protect nature and all its creatures. Scott, a widely published naturalist, author, and researcher, will speak on the compelling appeal of birds, and Amy, currently the Senior Director for Sanctuaries at Mass Audubon, will connect birds and their appeal to engaging new communities with nature conservation and environmental action. The talk will be followed by a reception with regional environmental leaders. Please come and learn about local measures to protect our ecosystems. Free and open to the public.
