Date: 2/11/25 4:52 pm From: Sequoia Audubon Society via groups.io <office...> Subject: [pen-bird] Thurs. Feb 13 - Monthly Meeting - Bay Area Wildlife
This Thursday, February 13, at 7:00 pm, in collaboration with Marin Audubon, we are hosting Jeff Miller as the monthly speaker. Jeff is the founder of the nonprofit Alameda Creek Alliance and has served as its executive director since 1997, working to restore steelhead trout and salmon to Alameda Creek and protect the Bay Area’s largest local watershed. He’s a senior conservation advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity, spearheading biodiversity protection campaigns throughout the Bay Area and California, preparing endangered species listing petitions, writing press releases, and doing public outreach and organizing around wildlife protection issues. Over the last quarter century, he has been involved in conservation efforts for dozens of the most iconic imperiled wildlife species in the Bay Area, the most recent being securing state protections for burrowing owls. Jeff says that loving nature is as important as fighting for it and grieving ecological destruction. People tend to care more about animals and places that they have a direct experience with, so he wrote Bay Area Wildlife: An Irreverent Guide to try to connect readers with our regional fauna and inspire them to make a pilgrimage to witness the Bay Area’s spectacular natural phenomena.
His book has received excellent reviews; this will be an engaging presentation; don't miss it! Register: https://bit.ly/3CuGUyn
