Please join the Weminuche Audubon Society on Wednesday, September 16 at 6:30 PM for our monthly chapter meeting.  This remote meeting will take place on Zoom.  If you are new to Zoom, you will need to go to http://Zoom.us  prior to the meeting and download the free Zoom for client app to your personal device.  Use the meeting link at the bottom of this page to join the meeting. All interested parties are welcome.

The topic of this month’s meeting will be the importance of wetlands, particularly those in our Pagosa Springs area.  80% of all wildlife species use wetlands or riparian habitats at some point in their life cycle.  According to the EPA, “more than half of our original wetlands have been drained and converted to other uses”.  Geothermal sources in Pagosa Springs have created unique, warm water wetlands and contribute to the rich diversity of birds we see along the riverwalk in town.

Our presenter for the evening will be Randy McCormick.  Prior to moving to Pagosa Springs, McCormick served as environmental manager at the National Estuarine Research Reserve in Naples, Florida, mandated to protect 110,000 acres of coastal wetlands in the western Everglades.  He is a board member of the Weminuche Audubon Society and an active member in Pagosa Wetland Partners, a group of citizens committed to preserving important area wetlands habitats. Find out how you can be involved in this mission.

Jean Zirnhelt is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
