Grassland Birds in Vermont

7 – 8 PM

Amidst steep, continental declines in grassland bird populations, here in the forested Northeast we're finding surprising opportunities to enhance grassland bird populations. Grassland birds in Vermont and other northeastern states readily take advantage of open grass-dominated areas such as abandoned or fallow fields, working agricultural lands, and municipal airports. In recent decades, however, this habitat is under increasing threat to development, fragmentation, and invasive plants. Learn about the past, present, and future of these ephemeral habitats with Vermont Center for Ecostudies' Grassland Bird, Biologist Kevin Tolan.
