Petoskey Audubon presents Sept. 12 program on 'Connections in Bird Ecology, Climate Change, and Health'

HARBOR SPRINGS — Seth Lanning, Michigan private lands biologist for the American Bird Conservancy, will present a program on Tuesday, Sept. 12 called “Connections in Bird Ecology, Climate Change, and Health: A holistic look at what we can do and how to stay effective.”

He’ll touch on historical perspectives from both the humanities and sciences, current data on birds and other wildlife, One Health, consilience, the overlap of taxonomy and poetry, and how individuals can increase their effectiveness and maintain their passion in the face of climate stress and environmental degradation.

The program, hosted by the Petoskey Regional Audubon Society, begins at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. It takes place in the conference room at Northern Lights Recreation, 8865 Harbor-Petoskey Road (M-119) in Harbor Springs.
