National Audubon's Saline Lakes Program envisions a network of healthy saline lakes and their associated wetlands with reliable water supplies to meet the needs of birds and people across the Intermountain West. Saline lakes are critical habitat that millions of birds depend on for breeding, resting and feeding during migration. Our experts will address the central role of water in determining habitat conditions for shorebirds, waterbirds, and waterfowl locally at Great Salt Lake and regionally across the Great Basin. We will also learn about macroinvertebrate studies at Gillmor Sanctuary designed to inform their management decisions on how to provide the best foraging habitat for shorebirds. We hope to educate and impact you with the beauty of our saline lakes.
Presenters will include
- Max Malmquist, Saline Lakes Outreach Associate
- Brian Tavernia, Saline Lakes Ecologist
- Marcelle Shoop, Saline Lakes Program Director
- Ella Sorensen, Gillmor Sanctuary Manager
- Heidi Hoven, Gillmor Sanctuary Assistant Manager
Light refreshments at 6:00pm, presentations begin at 7:00pm.
