This Thursday at 7pm, the Dartmouth Bookstore in Hanover is hosting a 
bird conservation book signing event. This is a great opportunity to 
learn about the conservation status of many of our threatened birds, how 
what's happening in their wintering grounds is impacting them, and what 
you can do to help save them. I have had the fortunate opportunity to 
work with both speakers, Jeff Wells when he was the National Director of 
Bird Conservation with National Audubon, and Chris Rimmer here at the 
Vermont Center for Ecostudies. I can attest that they are both extremely 
knowledgeable about bird conservation and that these books are great 
references for the conservation-minded. Hope to see you there! -Julie

BIRD CONSERVATION BOOK SIGNING

Come attend a presentation and book signing on migratory birds, the 
Caribbean island of Hispaniola, and how the two are linked through 
conservation. On Thursday May 8 at 7 pm at the Dartmouth Bookstore in 
Hanover, NH , Chris Rimmer (Director of the Vermont Center for 
Ecostudies) and Jeff Wells (Senior Scientist for the Boreal Songbird 
Initiative) will discuss local and international bird conservation 
issues and sign three recently-released books. Jeff recently published 
the "Birder's Conservation Handbook," while Chris is a coauthor on two 
books dealing with birds of Hispaniola: "Birds of the Dominican Republic 
and Haiti" and "Hispaniola: a Photographic Journey through Island 
Biodiversity." This informal evening will begin with an illustrated 
presentation by Jeff and Chris, followed by a signing of the three books.
