  • Wednesday, September 23, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Nature on Tap: A Mighty Wind – Offshore Wind and Birds

    Join Joan Walsh, Mass Audubon Gerard A. Bertrand Chair of Field Ornithology, on September 23 from 7 – 8, online, for a discussion of offshore wind development and birds.

    By 2030 offshore wind turbines could power much of the residential eastern US, as well as a substantial part of our transportation. What will this great experiment mean to birds and bats? What can we do now to be sure we are protecting wildlife as we develop this game-changing industry? Working with our Advocacy team, Joan Walsh has been leading Mass Audubon’s efforts with other nonprofit partners in the US to protect birds while supporting a decarbonized electricity future. Join us as we share what we know, and what we need to know, to be the leaders in responsible development of this greener future.
