Michigan has lost half of its historic wetlands, threatening vulnerable marsh bird species, which have experienced significant population declines in the Great Lakes region.
Join us on Thursday, September 18 at 12pm ET to learn how Audubon Great Lakes, together with a network of volunteers and partner organizations, is working to restore and protect wetlands along Lake Michigan’s eastern shoreline, which includes the Grand River and West Michigan Coastal Corridor, for the benefit of birds and communities.
The Grand River Coastal Corridor is home to some of the highest quality natural communities in the entire state of Michigan and supports high levels of biodiversity, including sensitive or rare species of conservation concern and is regionally and globally important for birds.
You’ll hear from Kylie McElrath, Audubon Great Lakes’ Conservation Manager for Michigan, about the importance of this area for birds, conservation threats and what’s needed to address them, and efforts underway to coordinate landscape-scale restoration and inclusive recreational access.
