SUMMARY:Building Bird-Friendly Communities with Houston Audubon: How to Attract and Support Native Birds Wherever You Live, Work, and Play – September 19
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nBirds are not only beautiful and fascinating creatures, but they are also essential to balanced and healthy ecosystems. Despite their importance, bird populations across the United States have faced a staggering decline in the last 50 years. Join Amber Leung of Houston Audubon as she delves into the factors driving this decline and explores how we can make a difference. Whether you live in an urban area, suburban neighborhood, or rural setting, there are practical steps you can take to create bird-friendly environments. Anyone can play a role in safeguarding these vital creatures for future generations. Amber will equip you with the knowledge and tools to attract and support native birds wherever you live, work, and play, ensuring that their songs and presence remain a cherished part of our world for years to come.\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nAmber Leung is the Nature Programs Manager for Houston Audubon. She teaches about birds and the rest of the natural world at the Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary in Houston. Her love for the natural world was nurtured from an early age through camping and hiking adventures with her family in Austin. Her passion for birding took flight during a Coastal Ornithology course while pursuing a BS in Marine Sciences at Texas A&M University in Galveston. In 2015, Amber became a certified Texas Master Naturalist and went on to serve two terms as president of the Coastal Prairie Chapter. She is deeply committed to promoting the importance of all aspects of a healthy ecosystem, particularly those that are often overlooked. In her free time, Amber enjoys cultivating her own native plant garden, creating wildlife-inspired art, and immersing herself in nature, where she delights in observing birds and reptiles. \n\n\n\n\n\nOur monthly chapter meetings are held on every 3rd Thursday, January – November. Our meetings are free and open to the public thanks to our members and sponsors. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will start at 7:00 pm, but come at 6:45 pm for a meet and greet with snacks.\n\n\n\nHouston Arboretum and Nature Center\n\n\n\n610 Entrance (preferred)120 W Loop N FwyHouston, TX 77024\n\n\n\nWoodway Entrance4501 Woodway DriveHouston, TX 77024\n\n\n\nMeetings will also be live-streamed and recorded for later viewing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to Houston Chapter Page\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
