Join us to hear Chance Hines, research biologist with The Center for Conservation Biology (CCB), give a presentation about Red-cockaded Woodpeckers in Virginia. This presentation will detail how populations of this species once occurred throughout the state but precipitously fell to as few as two breeding pairs at a single site in the early 2000s. Following hard work and dedication from state, federal, and NGO partners, the number of birds is now in the triple digits and continues growing steadily. This presentation will include intimate looks at Red-cockaded Woodpecker life as well as the work that goes on behind the scenes managing habitat and monitoring the population.
The presentation will be in person in the Williamsburg Library as well as streamed on Zoom
