Membership Meeting – March 2026

Program – “Conserving Birds and Their Habitat in Virginia and Beyond” – Speaker: Dan Lebbin–Vice President of Threatened Species, American Bird Conservancy

Dan Lebbin will talk about bird conservation and some of American Bird Conservancy’s efforts to conserve birds and their habitats for birds in Virginia and Latin America. Work in Virginia includes advocacy for terns, forest management in the Appalachians, and land conservation in Guatemala for wintering migratory birds. Work in Latin America focuses on reserve creation and management, reforestation of degraded areas and implementing conservation practices on farms to enhance habitat for migratory birds. He will end with a few suggestions we can all do to contribute to bird conservation in our own homes and communities.
