Brew City Birding Festival keynote speaker Greg DuBois of the Illinois Audubon Society discusses coffee & bird conservation
About this Event

Join us on Friday, May 9th for an evening with Greg DuBois of the Illinois Audubon Society in celebration of the Brew City Birding Festival. Greg will give a brief history of coffee consumption and production and explain how each of us can protect our migratory birds through the Smithsonian Bird Friendly certified coffee and cocoa program.

Greg leads birding tours and does bird population monitoring for the U.S. Forest Service at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie located 60 miles south of Chicago.

This event is being sponsored by Wisconsin Metro Audubon Society and Wehr Birders. The program starts at 7:00 pm. Weather permitting we will have a bird walk around the Nature Center starting at 5:45 with snacks and samples of bird-friendly coffee before the presentation.
