Speaker: Curtis Smalling - Director of Conservation, Audubon North Carolina

North Carolina is blessed with over 18 million acres of forests. Close to four million of those acres are in our towns and cities, and we are losing them at an alarming rate. Audubon North Carolina is embarking on an effort to help our chapters and partners in communities work to protect, manage, and restore our forests in the face of development, transportation, and other factors. We will look at how birds use urban forests throughout their annual cycle and some of the innovative ways communities are coming together to tackle this complex issue, and how you can get involved.
