September 11 – Joanna Eckles – Bird- Friendly
Joanna will discuss the key elements of a bird-friendly community, including specific actions we can take to support birds both individually and within our communities, such as creating habitat, mitigating various threats, engaging people, and fostering sustainability. She will also discuss the vision for Bird City and the hope for urban bird conservation across the hemisphere.
Joanna Eckles started birding in elementary school, studied Wildlife Science (Cornell University) and Conservation Biology (University of Minnesota), and has had a 35+ year career (so far) working for the Minnesota Zoo, The World Parrot Trust, Audubon, and The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota. Joanna is currently working for American Bird Conservancy, coordinating Bird City Network to support the creation of more bird-friendly communities across the hemisphere.

“Cardinal Woods” is a property formerly managed by the St. Paul Bird Alliance and needs maintenance.

All you have to do is show up ready to help out!
