SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Monarch Butterflies and Other Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Monarch Butterflies and Other Pollinators with Erin Oswald \nIn 2017\, Fenner Conservancy constructed an exhibit to raise awareness in the community about pollinator conservation through the raising and rearing of monarch butterflies — the Monarch House. Since then\, more than 300 monarch butterflies have been reared\, checked for parasites\, tagged\, and released. The Monarch House was built to give these important pollinators a good head-start in life and the energy to make it to their overwintering grounds in Mexico. Fenner is involved with many citizen science programs like Project Monarch Health\, Monarch Watch\, and Monarch Waystation to help increase the declining monarch population and educate the greater Lansing region about the conservation of monarchs and other pollinators.  \n\nErin Oswald is the volunteer coordinator and citizen science program coordinator at Fenner Nature Center. She oversees programs such as Project FeederWatch and all Monarch House activities. She has been working at Fenner since April 2018. Erin holds a B.S. in fisheries and wildlife from Michigan State University.  \nThis event is part of the Michigan Audubon Seminar Series. Seminars are free and open to the public. Sessions take place on the second Monday of each month from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Michigan Audubon office located at 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos\, MI 48864.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Otis Sanctuary Workday
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this workday has been canceled. We hope you will be able to join us for a future workday to help keep our sanctuaries a beautiful place for birds and the people that like to enjoy them. \nMichigan Audubon’s Otis Farm Bird Sanctuary is an oasis for birds\, but it needs your help to stay that way! Located in Barry County\, this 128-acre bird sanctuary hosts rolling fields\, mature forest\, expansive marshland\, a stream\, kettle hole marshes\, and several springs.  \nEach workday\, Michigan Audubon staff and volunteers gather to remove invasive plants that threaten habitat health. These workdays are a great opportunity to get to know the sanctuary and help give back to the birds. Think of these workdays as “wild gardening” — these are mildly strenuous workdays that involve hiking around the sanctuary and cutting down invasive woody shrubs with hand pruners or hand saws\, often in challenging locations. A good workout is guaranteed! We do take many snack and water breaks throughout the workday. \nWild raspberries\, poison ivy\, and biting insects are common so please dress appropriately in close-toed boots\, long sleeves\, pants\, and a hat. Please bring leather or gardening gloves if you have them\, but we do have extras on site to borrow. Water and snacks will be available but feel free to bring extras if you like. \nThis event is weather dependent. Rain or thunderstorms will cancel the event. If you RSVP you will receive up-to-date information on changes to this event. \nPlease RSVP to Conservation Program Coordinator Linnea Rowse at lrowse@michiganaudubon.org if you plan to attend the workday. We hope to see you at the sanctuary! \n— \nOtis Farm Bird Sanctuary is located at 3560 Havens Rd.\, Hastings\, MI 49058.

SUMMARY:Chimney Swift Tower Build at Woldumar
DESCRIPTION:Michigan Audubon is seeking volunteers to help finish building a Chimney Swift tower at Woldumar Nature Center! \nThis project benefits Chimney Swift a bird species dependent on human structures for nest sites. The Okemos High School Earth Club constructed the tower components\, so we just need to assemble the tower on site. \nAll in all\, this tower will be approximately 15 feet tall and will support one nesting pair of Chimney Swift during their summer nesting season\, or several Chimney Swift (up to 100 if we are lucky!) during their migration. \n\nWe will meet at Woldumar Nature Center (5739 Old Lansing Rd\, Lansing\, MI 48917). If you are interested in volunteering with us\, please email Conservation Program Coordinator Linnea Rowse at lrowse@michiganaudubon.org.

SUMMARY:Warner Sanctuary Workday
DESCRIPTION:Michigan Audubon’s Ronald H. Warner Sanctuary is a hidden gem in Barry County. Adjacent to the Barry State Game Area Global Important Bird Area\, Warner is home to breeding forest birds and a number of threatened and endangered plants — and it needs your help to stay this way. \nEach workday\, Michigan Audubon staff and volunteers gather to remove invasive plants that threaten habitat health. These workdays are a great opportunity to get to know the sanctuary and help give back to the birds. Think of these workdays as “wild gardening” — these are mildly strenuous workdays that involve hiking around the sanctuary and cutting down invasive woody shrubs with hand pruners or hand saws\, often in challenging locations. A good workout is guaranteed! We do take many snack and water breaks throughout the workday. \nWild raspberries\, poison ivy\, and biting insects are common so please dress appropriately in close-toed boots\, long sleeves\, pants\, and a hat. Please bring leather or gardening gloves if you have them\, but we do have extras on site to borrow. Water and snacks will be available but feel free to bring extras if you like. \nThis event is weather dependent. Rain or thunderstorms will cancel the event. If you RSVP you will receive up-to-date information on changes to this event. Please note that our sanctuaries do not have bathrooms or running water at this time.* \nPlease RSVP to Conservation Program Coordinator Linnea Rowse at lrowse@michiganaudubon.org if you plan to attend the workday. We hope to see you at the sanctuary! \n— \nRonald H. Warner Sanctuary is located at: 42.620669\, -85.396601 \nWe will meet at the parking area on the east side of Erway Road in Hastings.
