Net Negative Emissions in California by 2030: Can We Do It? The latest climate science supports what millions of people and animals are experiencing daily: the impacts of climate change are hitting harder and faster than expected, posing grave threats to human health and planetary health. We are already pushing against multiple global tipping points that could unleash abrupt and irreversible damage to people and wildlife alike. Children, the elderly, and people living in low-...income communities are disproportionately affected. Our only hope for a vibrant, healthy, and equitable future for all is to enact bold climate policies now, not decades from now. The solutions exist in every sector- from energy and transportation to natural and working lands management. Yet we still lack the political will. Ms. Cohen will highlight recent climate science findings followed by an overview of The Climate Center’s Climate-Safe California initiative and recent successes. She will inspire citizen action to ensure that California, the world’s 5th largest economy, steps up its climate leadership by enacting the bold policies required by science soon. She will conclude with a hopeful view of our future to protect the planet for future generations.

Jo Ann Baumgartner on Supporting Beneficial Birds and Managing Pests Jo Ann Baumgartner will address the vital importance of promoting biodiversity, the significant role that birds play in controlling pests, and provide suggestions of ways that we can encourage beneficial birds and insects on our farms and in our gardens year-round. If pest birds are a problem, they can be discouraged with specific practices during the shorter periods when they cause damage. Jo Ann is the E...xecutive Director of Wild Farm Alliance. She is the author of many publications on the intersection between biodiversity conservation and agriculture, including beneficial birds. Wild Farm Alliance (WFA) works to promote a healthy, viable agriculture that protects and restores wild nature. WFA has spent the last 20 years addressing the current biodiversity crisis by helping farmers incorporate habitat to support wildlife and take advantage of the myriad of benefits nature can provide. More information about Wild Farm Alliance can be found at wildfarmalliance.org.

This post is just a notice to let you know that our website is down. Our web host is working on the problem and hopefully we will be back up very soon! In the meantime I will post upcoming events here, on Facebook, not only from Wintu Audubon Society, but also from some of our friends that are conducting events that you may enjoy.

Terri Lhuillier will share the continuing saga of our famous Redding Eagles as she begins her 17th Nesting Season closely monitoring the local bald eagle pair. Terri has been following Liberty for 17 years since the bald eagle pair first arrived & built a nest at Turtle Bay in Redding back in 2004. #BaldEagles #Eagles #nestingbirds #PatriotandLiberty #raptors #WintuAudubonSociety
