[De Angelis, Patricia]

The National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in collaboration with
the Urban
Wildlife Conservation Program (UWCP) is pleased to announce a brand new
webinar series this summer sponsored by the Urban Bird Treaty Program. Please
see the information below about the first webinar in the series and how to

*Title*: *GIS Mapping for Birds and People *

*Date*: June 24th 2:00pm Eastern
*Speakers*: by Carrie Flosom-O'Keefe and Genevieve Nuttall, Audubon
Connecticut

*Description*: With increasing urbanization, and 90% of Connecticut’s
population living in urban areas away from natural green spaces, there is
an urgent need to re-acquaint communities with nature while creating more
sustainable and healthy cities for people and wildlife. We will share our
model for bridging the gap – community-based conservation through our Urban
Oases and Schoolyard Habitat Programs. As part of our presentation, we will
highlight GIS technology we have developed and are using for urban habitat
restoration and communication. We will describe our GIS decision support
tool used to identify urban communities in greatest need of healthy green
spaces, while also addressing the need of restoring high quality habitat
for migratory songbirds in urban and suburban areas. Further, we will
discuss best practices for engaging your community and stakeholders in your
conservation planning process. A background in GIS is not required.
