These declines received significant attention recently with the published paper in Science\, detailing the loss of 3 billion birds in North America\, as well as Audubon’s report on the impacts from climate change. Many of the species detailed in these reports are Neotropical migrants and cover vast amounts of land annually. Join us to learn about how you can make your yards and homes bird-friendly and support populations of migratory birds. \nMatthew Shumar is based in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University where he is Program Coordinator of the Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative. He was the Project Coordinator and co-editor for The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Ohio and is Co-Director for the upcoming Ohio Bird Atlas 3. Matthew also runs a private research station with a year-round bird banding program in southeastern Ohio with his wife\, Molly\, and is currently serving as President of the Association of Field Ornithologists. \nVisit https://natureinmybackyard.ohionativeplants.org/programs/ to register for this program.

There is no charge\, but advance registration is required. \nClick here to register. \n\nCOAC is proud to present this extraordinary opportunity to hear a terrific speaker with outstanding credentials! Dr. Terry Root is Professor Emerita at Stanford and lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change 4th Assessment Report that in 2007 was co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Vice President Al Gore. \nBack-to-back 100-year floods\, extended droughts\, and the polar vortex are all connected to the disruption of our climate due to greenhouse gas emissions. Since the late 1800s\, the average global temperature has increased about 1.8F (1C) and we are on track to surpass the Paris Agreement target of 2.7F (1.5C) by 2030. In response to this rapid warming\, much is changing on our planet\, including earlier spring warming so flowers are blooming and birds are breeding earlier. Species are moving to cooler areas on land and in the oceans. Unless we soon slow the rapid warming\, innumerable people will suffer due to heatwaves\, storm surges\, and spreading diseases. Additionally\, hundreds of thousands of species — including species we rely on — will face extinction. We must stop our fossil-fuel addiction to avoid such problems. \nThankfully\, there are many things that we can do\, collectively and individually\, to decrease the emissions of CO2.  We just need the will to do them. \n\nDr Terry L. Root is Professor Emerita at Stanford University. She was a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change 4th Assessment Report that in 2007 was co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Vice President Al Gore. Also\, she was a lead author for the 3rd Assessment Report (2001) and a Review Editor for the 5th Assessment Report (2014). In addition to other honors\, Root was awarded the Spirit of Defenders Award for Science by Defenders of Wildlife in 2010. She served on the National Audubon Board of Directors from 2010 to 2019\,and is on numerous science advisory boards. Root earned her undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of New Mexico\, her master’s degree in Biology from the University of Colorado and her doctorate in Biology from Princeton University.  She was a professor at the University of Michigan for 14 years\, and then at Stanford University for 15 years.  She now resides in Sarasota\, FL. \nIf you are concerned about our planet – attend!

Urban Birder\, author and naturalist\, David Lindo\, will be in Cleveland November 2 through 9th. That week a whole bunch of birding and other activities will be taking place in and around Cleveland. Here is a link to the site.  https://www.wcaudubon.org/urban-birding-with-david-lindo-2019.html \nI highly encourage you to spread the word among birders\, naturalists\, educators\, those working with youth and/or underserved communities\, and others.  This will be a terrific way to meet a dynamic presenter who’ll encourage birding\, and just naturalizing (?) in general\, in an urban setting AND how much of an impact getting outdoors can be for young people. \nPlan to attend some of the programming listed\, for some there is a minimal cost\, for others registering on the WCAS website is encouraged. David’s book will be for sale at many of the events.  A quick shout-out to the Conservation Lab group that has been and is the driving force to bring David to Cleveland.  Thank you everyone\, I hope to see many of you at some of the events. \nNancy J.

These practices cover the root flare of the tree – the area where the trunk meets the roots.  The root flare is critical for oxygen exchange and proper root growth.\nWhen it is covered up\, roots circle around the base restricting the tree’s ability to transport water. The bark begins to rot.  The tree can suffocate and die. We want the trees planted to be successful and live long\, happy lives. Join us to learn how to properly plant and take care of a tree. \nWe’ll analyze the trees at Mitchell’s to see if they need some help and if so\, we will fix them. \nPresenter: Colby Sattler\, ISA Certified Arborist\, Forest City Ecological Services \nFREE TREE SEEDLINGS (while supplies last) \nWorkshop is free but registration is required.\nContact Amy Roskilly at aroskilly@cuyahogaswcd.org – 216/524-6580\, x1005\nonline –  https://www.cuyahogaswcd.org/events/2019/10/19/tree-care-and-root-flare-repair URL:https://clevelandaudubon.org/event/tree-care-repair-event/ LOCATION:Mitchell’s Ice Cream\, 18832 Westwood Drive\, Strongsville\, OH\, 44136 CATEGORIES:nonASGC ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://clevelandaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/tree-roots.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190428T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190428T160000 DTSTAMP:20260424T194526 CREATED:20190128T170622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190128T170622Z UID:4241-1556460000-1556467200@clevelandaudubon.org SUMMARY:Next Silent Spring? Non ASGC DESCRIPTION:ARE WE APPROACHING THE NEXT SILENT SPRING?\nRachel Carson raised the red flag years ago. Pesticides were not only killing insects\, but also disrupting the delicate balance of nature. Now history is repeating itself. \n\nTo commemorate Earth Day 2019\, the Northeast Ohio Sierra Club extends an invitation to attend the enlightening program\, “Next Silent Spring?” This free event will be held at the Cleveland Museum of Art Recital Hall on Sunday\, April 28\, from 2 – 4 PM. \nLaurel Hopwood\, Senior Advisor to Sierra Club’s Pollinator Protection Program\, will show the outstanding documentary “Nicotine Bees.” \nPollinator populations are declining.

This is one of the longest citizen science projects in existence. 117 years ago ornithologist Frank Chapman converted folks from a horrendous tradition of the “Side Hunt” (where teams would shoot and collect as many bird and mammal carcasses as they could) to now counting and not disturbing the birds. An interesting history of this census can be found here. This is a National Audubon sanctioned event occurring from December 14 th through Jan 5 th. A group of at least 10 volunteers count all the birds seen or heard in a 15 mile diameter circle by going out in teams on specified routes and at the end of the 24-hour period tally and compile the data which is sent to National Audubon. It is great fun and you can participate as much or as little as you like. Look for one near you or go to the National Audubon website to find one.
