MONROE - A general membership program hosted by the Green-Rock Audubon Society will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17 in the second-floor meeting room at the Monroe Public Library, 925 16th Ave.
Jodi Brandt, a recent Ph.D graduate from the University of Wisconsin's Wildlife Ecology Department, will speak on "Tibetan sacred sites and forest birds in China's Himalayan mountains." Brandt did some work in southwestern China, in the area of Shangri-la. She looked at forest birds, patterns of old growth forest logging and the importance of Tibetan sacred forests as protected areas. Brandt also created a field guide to birds of that region, as well as taking pictures of both the landscape and the birds of the region where she studied.
Cookies and refreshments will be provided.
