Subject: Audubon Society Meeting - Monday, October 7th, Lancaster Community
Library
The Northern Neck Audubon is pleased to announce an open public meeting with a
presentation by longtime environmental journalist, Bud Ward, a resident of
White Stone. This meeting will be held on Monday, October 7th beginning at 3:15
at the Lancaster Community Library, 16 Town Centre Drive in Kilmarnock. The
presentation will be “Weather and Climate – Now and in the Future”. With the
disturbing declines in bird and insect populations in the US, the changes in
weather and climate are of particular interest to all who appreciate our native
birds. His presentation will be informative and enlightening.
Bud has a bachelor’s and master’s communications degree from Penn State and
spent more than 30 years covering environmental news from Washington, DC.
Researching and writing about nature’s changes, he has focused on the climate
and weather for many years. In 2009, George Mason University’s Center for
Climate Change Communication named him “Climate Change Communicator of the
Year”. He is the founder and editor of the Yale University’s “Yale Climate
Connections” website and a daily radio program that airs on public radio
stations across the nation.
Ward will discuss the current scientific research and analysis of climate
change and how this relates to all of us in the Northern Neck and the
Chesapeake Bay region. He will review the physical and social science aspects
of this issue and why this is so vitally important to us, our children,
grandchildren and the earth.
Following the presentation, we will have time for questions and social
gathering, with drinks and snacks, to discuss weather, climate, birds and
birding in the Northern Neck.
