November 16 Meeting: Alex Wilke – Connections Across the Hemispheres: Shorebird Conservation on Virginia’s Eastern Shore

11/16/2022 19:00 - 20:30

This meeting is Zoom only.

Did you know that the Eastern Shore of Virginia is one of the most important places for shorebirds in the entire Western Hemisphere?  It is!  We will discuss the global plight of shorebird populations as they face threats such as habitat loss, disturbance and climate change.  We will also explore the important coastal habitats that we have right here on the Eastern Shore that support many of these shorebird species and learn more about the work that the Volgenau Virginia Coast Reserve and their partners are doing to protect and manage these species.  (Alex Wilke is a Coastal Scientist at The Nature Conservancy’s Volgenau Virginia Coast Reserve on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.)
