Conservation: Beyond a List - Amplifying Migratory Bird Conservation

PLEASE NOTE: You must register for this workshop (limit: 25 people) and complete the liability form when you register. Walk-up or impromptu participants will not be allowed. Other requirements are described below.

Registration closes 2 p.m., November 9. Meet at Breckenridge Brewery Littleton in the Tasting Room for an engaging lecture and conversation. Cash bar available to sample beers from Breckenridge Brewery or non-alcoholic beverages. Please bring and wear a mask between your sips of beverages. Events may switch to virtually online depending on public health guidelines.

Periodically, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service identifies a set of migratory birds that warrant increased conservation attention. The list includes not only the continental United States but also lands and waters of states, commonwealths, territories, and other affiliations in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. Brad will discuss the statutory origins of the list, the mechanics if assessing conservation status, and the resultant bird taxa considered as "Birds of Conservation Concern." Beyond just presenting the list, he will discuss ongoing and emerging efforts to improve the conservation status of migratory birds within our region and across the hemisphere. Lastly, he will present an expanded list of suggested ways you can help the conservation of birds. Note that the Tasting Room at the Farm House Restaurant at Breckenridge Brewery is ADA compliant.

Presented by Brad Andres, National Coordinator, U.S. Shorebird Conservation Partnership, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
