The Audubon Society published a Survival by Degrees report in 2019, and recently reminded Gardenopolis of its Birds and Climate Visualizer component. Type in your zip code and see how climate change is predicted to affect your area and the birds that visit your backyard.
Rising temperatures mean that many birds will lose habitat and struggle to survive. Gardenopolis supports efforts to slow climate change and preserve habitat for wildlife.
Save the date! The City Nature Challenge will be held from April 30 – May 3, 2021.
Cities around the world compete to see who can document the most biodiversity in a single long weekend. The number of observations, the number of species identified and the number of people participating are shared and compared.
Mark your calendars and plan to join LEAP’s team on iNaturalist. Visit https://www.leapbio.org/events/city-nature-challenge for all the details.
Registration is now open for the 2nd International Beech Leaf Disease Workshop. This will be a virtual meeting held on April 15th via Adobe Connect. We expect to have a wide variety of presenters, including University partners, State and Federal agencies, and private agencies. We will discuss current research results, recent survey and monitoring work, and future projects.
This workshop gathers forest health experts from the United States and Canada to share information regarding Beech Leaf Disease (BLD), an emerging pest of American beech. Throughout the day, thirteen presentations will be shared on topics of BLD epidemiology, distribution, control, and research efforts. Registered attendees can earn continuing educations credits for the Society of American Foresters (SAF) and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) for participating in the workshop.
