*THEY WILL INHERIT THE EARTH *I wanted to alert Audubon members about a May
14 program on climate change and peace activism. It's sponsored by First
Presbyterian Church, Asheville, and the Creation Care Alliance. The program
features John Dear, longtime activist, priest, author, and Nobel prize
nominee. He will read from and reflect on his new book, *They Will Inherit
the Earth: Peace & Nonviolence in a Time of Climate Change.*
First Pres is at 40 Church Street in downtown Asheville. The program begins
at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Have you ever wondered how habitats are selected, protected and managed
for rare species such as the Golden-winged Warbler or Golden Eagle? This
talk, by biologist Marquette Crockett of the Southern Appalachians
Highlands Conservancy, (SAHC), will examine how land trusts use
science-based guides like Audubon’s Important Bird Areas to select land for
protection. She will also discuss how SAHC uses a variety of land management
tools — from cows to Christmas trees — to manage habitat for those rare
species.
