SUMMARY:Monthly Chapter Meeting | Speaker Series | Niiyokamigaabaw Deondre Smiles - “Dominant” Science and Indigenous Peoples
DESCRIPTION: Dominant science’s impact on Indigenous peoples in historical and contemporary contexts \n** THIS IS A ZOOM ONLY PRESENTATION ** \nDr. Smiles will speak on how modes of ‘dominant’ science have historically been used in ways that have negatively affected Indigenous peoples in historical and contemporary contexts. They will then turn to how Indigenous scientists have been able to practice science in a way that is ethical and respectful to Indigenous communities and furthers their resurgence. \nDr. Deondre Smiles is an assistant professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Victoria. Smiles is a citizen of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and holds a bachelor’s degree in Geography from St. Cloud State University\, a master’s degree in Global Indigenous Studies from the University of Minnesota Duluth\, and a Ph.D. in Geography from The Ohio State University. \nDr. Smiles’ work focuses on how Indigenous communities grapple with climate change\, particularly cultural preservation and resurgence. \nhttps://nativebio.org/ \nhttps://nativebio.org/indigidata/ \nhttps://civiclaboratory.nl/ \n  \nZOOM LINK

SUMMARY:Monthly Chapter Meeting | The Road to Recovery?  Roadsides Habitat for Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Tim Mitchell will present “The Road to Recovery? Roadside Habitat for Pollinators.” \nHabitat loss is the primary factor behind the decline of pollinators.  Roadside rights-of-way represent a substantial area of publicly managed land that can serve as potential pollinator habitat. However\, roadside risks are associated with them. Tim’s two-part talk will explore his research quantifying the risk of pollution for butterflies along roadsides and how Minnesota can cost-effectively improve roadside revegetation efforts for pollinators. \nTim Mitchell:  Research Scientist\, Department of Ecology\, Evolution and Behavior\, University of Minnesota \nThe presentation will also be available via Zoom. \nZOOM LINK

SUMMARY:Birdie Big Year: Elevating Women Birders with Tiffany Kersten
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tiffany Kersten\, 2021 Big Year record holder and professional bird guide. \nTiffany Kersten didn’t set out to do a Big Year\, but after a series of unanticipated and serendipitous events\, she suddenly found herself amidst one. As a sexual assault survivor\, she spent 2021 traveling to all corners of the Lower 48 States\, tallying birds and gifting personal safety alarms to women she met along the way. Her goal was to see 700 species and raise awareness of women’s safety outdoors. She surpassed her goal and set a new record of 726 species. In her presentation\, Tiffany will lead us through the fear\, empowerment\, struggles\, and healing that all played vital roles in the personal growth she experienced on this wild adventure. \n  \nProgram Fee: This program is FREE\, thanks to sponsorship from the Saint Paul Audubon Society and Wild River Audubon Society.

SUMMARY:Monthly Chapter Meeting | Chimney Swift Conservation and Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Mags Rheude and Mags Edwards present “Chimney Swift Conservation and Community Engagement.” Mags Rheude\, a biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service\, will introduce the Twin Cities Urban Bird Treaty Program and their research on the efficacy of free-standing chimney swift towers in the Twin Cities. The Twin Cities hosts over 70 freestanding swift towers\, built 10+ years ago during a conservation effort supported by Audubon chapters\, Boy Scouts\, and other civic groups.  \nThe Twin Cities UBT group examined if towers were still present\, monitored\, and used by Chimney Swifts. Mags Edwards\, Community Science Program Coordinator with the Minnesota DNR\, will discuss the group’s recommendations in light of these results and the group’s current focus on community engagement with Chimney Swifts. This includes the development of a survey tool to crowdsource existing nests and roost sites\, promoting community swift sits\, and engaging with property owners to preserve existing sites.  \nZOOM LINK \nPhoto Credit: Ben Cvengros/Audubon Photography Awards
