The following invitation comes to you from the Virginia Breeding Bird Atlas 2 coordinators:

Mark your calendars!

Please come out and join us for the Final Atlas Season Kick-off Meeting at VDGIF Headquarters in Henrico on March 14th, beginning at 10am.

In the morning, we will hear from our guest speaker, Ian Davies, who will talk to us about the increasingly vital role of citizen science for bird conservation. Additionally, we will get a brief (I promise!) update from the Atlas coordinator, Dr. Ashley Peele, and a perspective on the VDGIF's plans for putting the VABBA2 data into action, by Sergio Harding.

In the afternoon, volunteers can hop around different workshop tables covering everything from mapping to blockbusting to breeding code questions. Volunteers will have the chance to chat with Atlas coordinators from around the state, network with fellow volunteers, and get a jump on planning for our last summer field season!
