Monthly Club Meeting – “Avian Conservation in an Urbanized Fragmented Landscape: Evolving Techniques and Developing Partnerships”
Club Meeting – North Museum of Nature and Science, 400 College Ave, Lancaster, PA 17603
Presented by Dan Ardia, Franklin & Marshall College
Bird populations face increasing threats from rapid environmental change and human impacts on the landscape. The talk will use Lancaster as a case study for how to study and conserve birds in our fragmented and urbanized landscape. Results from existing research will be combined with describing new approaches to monitor birds in Lancaster and beyond.

Dan serves the ornithological community as the Board Chair of AvinetResearch Supplies and a Past President of the Association of Field Ornithologists.
