For the first presentation in our speaker series, Farm & Wilderness Conservation is excited to welcome Biologist and Loon Expert Eric Hanson from The Vermont Center for Ecostudies!
A beloved species by many and a frequent sight at local waterbodies, common loons are easily recognizable by their distinct plumage and eerie calls. Thanks to conservation efforts, common loons continue to experience population increases despite the many threats that impact their survival. Some of these threats include lead fishing gear, loss of suitable nesting habitat, and injuries from boats. In this presentation, Eric will discuss the Vermont Loon Conservation Project as well as the status of loons on local waterbodies such as Woodward Reservoir and Lake Ninevah. There will be time for questions as the end of the presentation. We hope you will join us!
