| Here is the link to the recording of MRVAC’s May 22 program on “Audubon Working Lands Strategy” by Dale Gentry, Audubon Upper Mississippi’s director of conservation. Audubon’s Working Lands Strategy aims to bring bird-friendly practices to private lands across the Western Hemisphere. Dale has a B.S. in zoology from Idaho State University, a M.S. in biology from the University of South Dakota, and a Ph.D. in atmosphere, environment and water resources from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. He will discuss how the Audubon conservation ranching and Audubon bird-friendly maple syrup programs are helping grassland and eastern forest bird communities while also supporting soil health, climate resiliency and overall biodiversity in the upper Midwest.
This meeting will be held in person at the refuge and simulcast via Zoom. The refuge visitor center is located at 3815 American Boulevard East in Bloomington and is accessible after a short walk from the METRO blue line. All MRVAC meetings are free and open to the public.
