Learn what’s being done to promote avian conservation at the local level with Gary Slater, Executive Director, Ecostudies Institute.
Gary’s passion for birds began as a child watching chickadees at the family bird feeder. That early exposure eventually led to nearly 30 years of experience in avian research and conservation, including work in the Pacific Northwest, South Florida, Venezuela, and the Bahamas.
