Tammy will begin her talk with an overview of Bird Conservancy of the Rockies,discussing the work the organization does and the niche it fills compared to American Bird Conservancy and Audubon. She will do a deep sweep to grasslands and their importance as an ecosystem and to birds. She’ll explain what the Central Grasslands Roadmap is, why she started it, and its path for the future. Then she’ll dive into the future of Colorado grasslands and what people can do to help protect birds and grasslands.
