Presentation: Why Roadkill Matters!

Information about where wildlife attempt to cross Maine roads, what animals are involved, and the kinds of roads with frequent collisions can help inform policy, management, and financial investment in reducing road-kill and habitat fragmentation. On Wednesday March 21 learn how Maine Audubon scientists can use citizen-reported data to improve our understanding of where wildlife attempt to cross roads and what we can do to reduce road-kill and increase safety for people and wildlife. Barbara Charry of Maine Audubon will explain why this is necessary, how the data will be used, and how it will benefit both wildlife and our Maine population. On Wednesday, March 21st join us for a potluck dinner (open to the public) just prior to Barbara’s talk at the Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, Brunswick, 04011. Bring a potluck item to share and your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.). Drinks will be available. For more information, please download a flyer (116 KB PDF) or email Meetings and Education Chair John Mullens. All events are free and open to the public.
