At 7:00 PM on Tuesday January 14, 2020, in the Mayer Room of the Howe Library in Hanover, NH, Chris Rimmer is to be speaking "On the Trail of the Bicknell’s Thrush in Cuba". This free program is open to the public and has been arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon.

In late March 2019, Vermont Center for Ecostudies Executive Director Chris Rimmer touched down in Cuba for a long-planned trip to survey the island’s mountainous habitat for the Bicknell’s thrush. As Chris notes, this was an attempt to establish baseline data regarding the Bicknell’s thrush’s presence there in order to take “the first steps in obtaining crucial information to prioritize and direct both local and range-wide conservation planning for this species’ vulnerable winter habitats.” Chris’s presentation will focus on the expedition’s field work, some in areas never before surveyed, as well as reflecting on the challenges that lie ahead for proactively stewarding the Bicknell’s through an environment that is growing increasingly fragile.
