Thursday, Dec 4, 2025 – “Bird City Michigan and Conversation Projects of Michigan Audubon” with Linda Smith, Director of Partnerships and Chad Machinski, Michigan Audubon Conservation Manager
Join us for an evening to learn about Bird City Michigan, a science-based program headed up by Michigan Audubon which recognizes communities across the state that adopt bird-friendly practices including managing green spaces, educating the public, and reducing threats to birds. At our next meeting, we’ll be discussing an exciting new opportunity for our chapter to collaborate with Michigan Audubon and Meridian Township through the Bird City Michigan program. This project will provide CAAS with an opportunity to share our expertise and raise awareness about bird-friendly practices. If all goes well, this could become a model for future collaborations with other communities. Chad Machinski will also present on some of the exciting conservation projects occurring at Michigan Audubon and we all can play a part in them.
CAAS will meet the first Thursday of each month September 2025 through June 2026 at the Michigan Nature Association Meeting Room, 2310 Science Parkway, Okemos, MI.
Our meetings run from 7:00 to 8:00 PM and include a program with a speaker on a topic of current interest to the birding community. Our meetings are open to members and nonmembers of all ages.
