SUMMARY:Urban Forest Climate Series with Ed Dominguez | Urban Forests and The Birds That Need Them
DESCRIPTION:Urban forests are more than shade and greenery; they are vital habitat for birds and other wildlife that depend on trees for survival. As climate change and development reshape our city, these habitats are shrinking, with serious consequences for the species that rely on them. In this final installment of our Urban Forest Climate Series, Ed Dominguez brings his expertise as a renowned birder and naturalist to explore the deep connection between urban tree canopy and bird life. Drawing on his years of observation and research, Ed highlights how trees support migratory and resident birds alike, and how the loss of canopy disproportionately impacts biodiversity, especially in areas like South Seattle. Participants will gain a better understanding of which birds depend on urban forests, how climate change is affecting their behavior and survival, and what we can do locally to protect and restore the habitats they need. From planting and caring for trees to advocating for bird-friendly policies and spaces, this talk offers meaningful ways for individuals and communities to support the wildlife that make our city vibrant and alive. Join us to discover how protecting urban forests also means protecting the birds that define and enrich our shared environment and how, together, we can help ensure they continue to thrive.\n\nFunding for this project provided by the USDA Forest Service, Urban and Community Forestry Program in partnership with State of Washington Department of Natural Resources, Urban and Community Forestry Program.\nLearn more here ( https://www.mobilize.us/seward-park-audubon/event/956469/ )\n
