Aiken Audubon Monthly Meeting: Healthy Freshwater Ecosystems for Birds and People
2021-05-19 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Denver) | CO
Water connects us all. Clean and reliable water supplies are essential to our 400+ species of birds and way of life in Colorado. All of us depend on healthy flowing rivers: agricultural producers, cities and towns, businesses, recreation, and the environment. Join the water discussion and find out why 2021 is a big year for Colorado water. Amid the update of the Colorado Water Plan, the beginning of the renegotiation around the Colorado River, drought, and wildfire resilience and recovery, one thing is clear: we all play a role in sustaining Colorado’s water future.
Join Abby Burk, western rivers regional program manager for Audubon Rockies, for an engaging presentation on freshwater ecosystems, current issues in Colorado water and what all of this means for birds and people.

Aiken Audubon Monthly Meeting: Greater Sage-Grouse — Largest Conservation Effort in U.S. History
2021-04-21 19:00 - 20:30
Greater sage-grouse are symbolic of the vast open lands of the West. This imperiled bird has brought unexpected partners together and been the center of unprecedented conservation actions. However, these actions were never given a chance to be implemented. With habitat conditions degrading, will a change in political leaders and new science reinvigorate efforts to protect this bird and sagebrush country?
