Timothy Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities at the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia, presents the ideas and findings in his new book The Bird-Friendly City: Creating Safe Urban Habitats (Island Press, 2020).
Beatley, a longtime advocate for intertwining the built and natural environments, takes us on a global tour of cities that are reinventing the status quo with birds in mind.
He places urban bird conservation efforts in the larger context of the global movement toward biophilic cities, or cities that put nature at the center of their design and planning and that recognize the innate need for human connection with other species and the natural world.
A brief ECOC club meeting will take place from 7:30–7:45 pm.
Co-sponsored by the Essex County Ornithological Club (ECOC)
