SUMMARY:Why Bird Feeding Makes a Difference
DESCRIPTION:Join ABAS Board Director Brian Cunningham for an informative program about feeding the birds. \nAnyone who has ever fed wild birds knows that it can bring joy to their lives. But\, does bird feeding just benefit people? Do the birds become dependent on the food we provide? We’ll take a look at what we have learned from various scientific studies and citizen science data on why feeding wild birds makes a difference for the health and well-being of people and for our backyard feathered visitors. \nBrian Cunningham has a love for the outdoors\, nature\, and birds. His greatest passion is helping others experience nature and opening their eyes to the wonder and beauty of birds. Brian has worked at Wild Birds Unlimited for 22 years and is their Product and Hobby Education Manager. \nBrian has a BS in Forestry with an emphasis in Forest Recreation from Purdue University.

SUMMARY:Coffee - A History and Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Helmbold\, ABAS Education Chair\, loves coffee. Most people love coffee\, though are most people as obsessed with coffee as she is? Jessica presents the history of coffee\, and how to select and brew the best coffees. Working at Indy Park’s Garfield Park Conservatory gives her a chance to show visitors coffee trees and teach visitors about conservation. Clearing land for the production of staple crops such as bananas\, pineapples\, and coffee is one of the biggest threats to our rainforests. Coffee can grow in harmony with the rainforest\, if we demand it. We can vote with our dollars to support conservation through the kind of coffee we buy. Learn how the small choices we make can make a difference. We will also sample different varieties of Rainforest Alliance coffees. Join us!

SUMMARY:Dawn to Dusk: Two Young Birders' Take on a Big Day
DESCRIPTION:Last spring\, five young birders took on a grueling 24-hour competition known as a Big Day. Hyped up on Red Bull and various forms of carbohydrates\, the group logged 151 species despite birding on April 30\, an early date during migration. Although it poured most of the day\, these young birders were still able to find birds such as Chuck-will’s-widow\, Black-bellied Whistling-Duck\, Wilson’s Phalarope\, and Barn Owl. Join Matthias Benko and Ceth Williams at Holliday Park for an account of their day\, from midnight to midnight.

SUMMARY:Naughty by Nature
DESCRIPTION:Join Amanda Smith\, Superintendent of Natural Resources & Education of Hamilton County Parks\, for our September program – Naughty by Nature. \nOut in the elements\, birders and outdoorsy folks often encounter some of the not-so-wonderful aspects of nature such as poison ivy\, nettles\, snakes\, chiggers\, and spiders. \nMore often than not\, myths and falsities abound. The fears and misconceptions about these “perceived” naughty natural things keep people from getting outside or making the right decisions about how to manage them\, but just an ounce of knowledge can help fight fear of the unknown. \nThis evening program will include an interactive presentation to engage the audience with myth-busting\, and will include opportunities to share experiences and solutions.
