Mountain Birdwatch: A Citizen Science Project To Monitor The Effects of Climate Change

Speaker: Jason Hill, Conservation Biologist, Vermont Center for Ecostudies

Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2020

Time: 6:30 P.M.

Mountain ecosystems are warming faster than lower elevation zones due to climate change. For montane birds we can expect significant population effects from this change in their environment. Mountain Birdwatch is a citizen-science project designed to document the effect of climate change on boreal forest birds breeding in New York and northern New England. In this program Jason Hill will present new findings showing that montane birds in our region have indeed moved upslope over the last decade.
