She is working with the MOTUS wildlife tracking system as part of the project, and attendees will learn about this system and Hannah’s capstone project.

The May chat, set for Wednesday, May 8, will feature guest Gail Walter of the Kalamazoo Audubon Society, who will speak about potential threats to birds, including window collisions, lighting, and more, as well as ways to mitigate those threats.

The June chat will take place Wednesday, June 12. This month, we are teaming up with Kalamazoo Area Wild Ones to explore the benefits of incorporating native plants into our landscape. Native plants play a crucial role in supporting bird and pollinator habitats.
