Presented by the Putnam Highlands Audubon Society,  Lecture by Scott Silver.

Join Dr. Scott Silver for an uplifting program that will focus on notable restoration projects which biologists have accomplished to not only conserve and protect endangered birds, but in some cases have actually been able to return species back to wild areas where they had previously been eliminated. Learn how unusually creative strategies are being used locally, regionally, and globally to help Peregrine Falcons and Whooping Cranes here in the United States, as well as Andean Condors, Maleo Pheasants and Bali Mynah Birds in exotic locations across the globe. This talk is recommended for adults and interested children 12 and older, and is sponsored by Putnam Highlands Audubon Society and the Desmond-Fish Public Library.

Dr. Scott Silver is a long time Garrison resident who has been on the Board of Putnam Highlands Audubon for the last 15 years. Previously the Director of Constitution Marsh Audubon Sanctuary, and the Curator of Animals and Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Queens Zoo, Scott is retired now but has traveled extensively as a conservation biologist. He is also an adjunct faculty member at Columbia University, where he teaches wildlife biology classes.

Refreshments will be provided.
