Please join us on Monday evening, February 12 for the next installment of
the Mascoma Chapter's "Nature Talk Series." Dr. Taber Allison will discuss
the impact of wind energy turbine farms on bird populations. The
presentation begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Mayer Room of Hanover's Howe
Library.

Wind turbines are seen as one of the best available technologies for carbon
emission-free power generation, but the siting and operation of wind energy
projects can have negative impacts on wildlife, particularly birds and bats.

For nearly two decades, Dr. Taber Allison has been *s*tudying the impacts
of wind energy on wildlife and developing solutions to minimize those
conflicts. Most recently it has been at the American Wind and Wildlife
Institute (AWWI) where he is Director of Research. Previously he led
Massachusetts Audubon’s Conservation Science Division and oversaw its site
evaluation of the Cape Wind Project.

Dr. Allison will share his considerable experience regarding what is known
about the impact of wind projects on wildlife and what remains to be
learned.
