Monthly Meeting Time & Location

 

Thursday, February 5, 2026 – “Sierra Club 30×30 Initiative” with Tim Minotas, Chapter Legislative and Political Director for the Michigan Sierra Club

Join Tim Minotas, for an overview of the Michigan Chapter’s 2026 environmental priorities. This presentation highlights key initiatives focused on protecting Michigan’s air, land, water, and wildlife.  Topics include clean air initiatives, addressing plastic and microplastic pollution, and promoting healthy farming practices, with a focus on reducing the impacts of neonicotinoid pesticides.  The session will also explore the Sierra Club’s 30×30 Initiative, aimed at conserving 30% of lands and waters by 2030.  Participants will learn how to influence legislation and become effective advocates—using their voices to protect birds, ecosystems, and Michigan’s natural heritage.

 

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.
