The public is invited to a free lecture on Gardening for Birds presented by the Sonoran Audubon Society at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at the West Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, 5904 W. Cholla St., Glendale, AZ (off 59th Avenue, south of Cactus). Membership in the Society is not required. Refreshments will be served and there will be a free raffle.
Kendall Kroesen took up birding after he obtained his BA in Cultural Anthropology from the University of California. Following the receipt of his Ph.D. he joined the staff of the Tucson Audubon society in 2002. During his first four years he worked with the habitat restoration program and was made manager of the program in 2006. His responsibilities included oversight of restoration work, grant writing, planning and new
project implementation. Recently his title was changed to Habitats Program Manager as he is helping Tucson Audubon create an urban-focused sustainability program. Dr. Kroesen will speak on ideas for businesses, homeowners and landscape designers to make urban landscapes more ecologically sustainable and useful for declining
populations of birds.
The Sonoran Audubon Society also offers frequent free bird walks. Check the website at www.sonoranaudubon.org.
