Alexandra (Allie) Anderson is a wildlife biologist and quantitative ecologist with the Shorebird Science and Conservation Collective. Through the Shorebird Collective, Anderson is aggregating and integrating shorebird tracking datasets from multiple governments, universities and nonprofits to provide quantitative and analytical support that informs on-the-ground shorebird conservation initiatives. On March 25th, at 7 P.M. , come to the Orangeville Seniors Centre and hear Allie unravel some of the mysteries of shorebird migration — how do flocks of thousands find their way to nesting grounds each spring? Bring your curiosity and a coffee mug. Snacks will be available. NOTE: If you cannot make this March meeting in person, we are looking into providing a ZOOM for you to link to the meeting presentation. More info coming later.
Our speaker for 2025 January 28th is an excellent wildlife photographer! “The more time I spend in nature, the more wondrous it becomes to me. Yet, so many people – busy with complexity of their lives — struggle to experience it. I hope, through photography, to capture and share unique perspectives of our world that may help others feel the wonder I feel when out in the wild.” (Matt Huras)
