Dr. Weidensaul's work on the North Shore has included the Joppa Flats Education Center and Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary.
Their topic will be:
Birds: the Gateway to Conservation Action. Scott will explore what makes birds among the most fascinating and compelling of all creatures, while Amy will discuss using birds as a springboard for engaging new communities with nature conservation and environmental activism.
Free, open to the public 1:00 p.m., Sunday, April 27, 2025 First Religious Society Unitarian Universalist 26 Pleasant Street, Newburyport, Massachusetts
It will be followed at 2:00 by a reception with the Weidensauls -an opportunity for local environmentalists to meet each other and network.

Please join us, and share this information with others whom you think might be interested to attend.
