Impacts of Ecosystem Imbalance on Birds

Maurita Holland and Andrea Matthies of Washtenaw Citizens for Ecological Balance

Birds need winter shelter and food, and safe grasslands, shrubs, or trees for nesting. They need native plants which attract native insects in order to give their nestlings a protein diet. High population levels of white-tail deer are threatening all of these needs. Deer are also spreading seeds of various invasive plants?degrading the essential ecosystems. The speakers will present the reasons why this is happening in Ann Arbor and surrounding counties, and why the city government is considering means to control the excessive deer population. Recognizing that this is both an ecological and an emotional issue, we will welcome a conversational exchange. Free.
