Heat Islands and Summer Birding
May 28 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Join BirdNote and Black AF in STEM on Tuesday, May 28th at 12pm PST/3pm EST for a special Black Birders Week Virtual Event on Heat Islands and Summer Birding. The event will shed light on crucial aspects of urban bird and wildlife conservation against the backdrop of summer birding and rising temperatures. Moderated by Dara Miles Wilson, panelists Nicole Jackson, Ela Carpenter, Ph.D and Sharon Dorsey will discuss the impacts of heat island effect on both birds and people in urban environments and the need to safeguard urban wildlife refuges, feeding changes in birds and the importance of water during the summertime, along with safe birding in the summer and how to best take care of ourselves and birds as temperatures continue to rise.
Join this esteemed panel of biologists, naturalists, and educators for an important conversation to help raise awareness about the challenges facing birds and marginalized communities in urban environments, and learn ways that we can all help. Registration is free, so secure your spot today!
