ZOOM MEETING
Berries for Birds
A North Fork Audubon Society Initiative
Presented by Ellen Birenbaum
Migrating and overwintering birds need calorie-rich berries to survive. Loss of habitat for berry producing native trees and shrubs has contributed to a precipitous drop in our migratory bird population. To address this problem, North Fork Audubon Society’s Berries for Birds initiative advocates cooperative conservation to encourag people to create new ecological networks by planting native berry-producing trees and shrubs where we live and work.
The Berries for Birds presentation reviews the science of co-evolution of native plants, insects and birds, the nutritional properties of berries by season and describes in detail the nutritional properties of berries by season and describes in detail the wide range of berry producing trees and shrubs native to the east end of Long Island.
