MAINE AUDUBON • April 27, 2023
This past weekend, three members of the BirdSafe Maine team traveled to Burlington, VT, to present their work at the Northeast Natural History Conference (NENHC). The NENHC is one of the largest regional gatherings where naturalists, research scientists, natural resource managers, students, and activists share their work on the ecology and biology of the northeastern US and eastern Canada. Recently, more and more of the focus of these presentations has been on the effects of human populations and climate change on our ecosystems. A crew representing BirdSafe Maine, the bird-strike awareness group formed by Maine Audubon, the Portland Society for Architecture, and the University of Southern Maine (USM), was invited to present on its work at this year’s conference.
