MONROE - The Green Rock Audubon Society (GRAS) will host a presentation on Bird City USA by Carl Schwartz at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the Monroe Public Library, 925 16th Ave., Monroe. The presentation will be held in conjunction with the organization's monthly membership meeting, and all members are encouraged to attend.
Schwartz is the coordinator of Bird City Wisconsin, as well as the vice president of the Wisconsin Society of Ornithology (WSO). Bird City is similar to the Arbor Day Foundation, Tree City USA. All interested birders in Monroe, whether an Audubon member or not, may attend the meeting and learn how Monroe can become a Bird City by implementing sound bird conservation practices and offering public recognition to those that succeed in enhancing the environment for birds and educating the public about the interactions between birds and people and the contributions that birds make to a healthy community.
