Welcome to The Skimmer Newsletter
Between the months of November and April our busy chapter hosts the SEVAS Speaker Series, weekly birding walks, other birding field trips, manages environmental projects and educates the public to raise awareness of our mission: “Protecting birds and their habitats through Conservation Education, Advocacy, and Action”.
One of many ways SEVAS gets the word out is via our newsletter, The Skimmer. Click the links below, and read our recent issues and discover our activities. Follow the live links within each issue for more.
Research in 2019 by “Cornell’s Lab of Ornithology and Canada’s National Wildlife Research Centre found that bird population in the USA and Canada have declined by 29% for a total net loss of 3 billion birds since 1970.” This is a warning to all of us, and one that SEVAS takes seriously.
We work hard at spreading the word that birds and their environment are desperately in need of our close attention. We have fun, too, and hope this will encourage you to join us.
