Marla Kerr and Sharon Polifka from the Loess Hills Audubon Society will join forces with Dr. David Hoferer from the Northwest Iowa Group of Sierra Club to present information on ways that we can protect birds. The City of Sioux City completed the process to become a certified Bird Friendly City in Iowa and part of the Bird City Network. Marla will briefly discuss this process and the ways we are working to protect birds. Marla and Sharon will discuss various window treatments available, and efforts that are happening in the area. Dr. David Hoferer will discuss the detrimental effects of lighting on birds and wildlife during migration and other times of the year, and ways that we can minimize the effects.

This program will be held in the Kozak Room at the Vermillion Public Library, and is part of a series of program offered in Vermillion during Earth Day week.
