Topic: Shorebirds in Atlantic Canada

Tuesday October 15, 2024 at 7 PM

Mapleton Park Rotary Lodge

Presenter: Dr. Diana Hamilton

Every year in late summer, large numbers of Arctic-breeding shorebirds migrate through our region, stopping to fuel up before continuing their long journey to their tropical non-breeding grounds where they spend the winter. Atlantic Canada provides critical habitat for these birds which are facing challenges and population declines throughout their range. Diana Hamilton, a professor in the Biology Department at Mount Allison university, has been studying these birds for over 25 years. Working with colleagues at Environment and Climate Change Canada and many students, Diana’s lab has examined many aspects of shorebird ecology. She will share some of their group’s insights on Semipalmated Sandpipers and other shorebird species during their time in our region.

Diana has been a professor at Mount Allison since 2005, and the Biology Department Head since 2018. Prior to joining Mount A, Diana did postdoctoral work at UNB, where she developed her fascination with shorebirds and their intertidal habitat. Before working on shorebirds and mudflats, Diana completed a PhD atthe University of Guelph, where she examined combined effects of predation by Common Eiders and disturbance on rocky intertidal communities.

This presentation will be in-person. It will also be available via Zoom here.

All are welcome, Nature Moncton member or not.

STU Sustainability is hosting a rally on Wednesday, November 6th from 12pm to 1pm at the Fredericton Legislature. Their theme is "Health for Earth, Health for All". They want to call on our new government to not only take action in our healthcare system but also take action for New Brunswick's overall health (Natural systems, biodiversity, and us!).

The bilingual Electrifying Our School Buses Workshop will occur on December 10, 2024, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. The event aims to connect educators and environmental advocates to raise awareness about electric school buses (ESBs) in New Brunswick. 

Participants can expect a presentation that highlights the benefits of ESBs, a demonstration of how to incorporate ESBs into lessons or activities, and a collaborative group activity designed to create educational materials focusing on ESBs, ending with a speed networking portion to facilitate meaningful connections among educators. 

The event encourages networking and resource sharing. Its goal is to integrate sustainability into educational curricula and inspire advocacy for ESBs in schools and communities.

The Sustainability Education Alliance, in collaboration with Esgenoôpetitj Watershed Association and Atlantic Canada Climate Network, is organising a free bilingual half-day networking event at Daly Point Nature Reserve near Bathurst. There will be a fire circle, Mi'kmaw cultural teaching, snowshoeing, a guest talk on circular economics, and a strategic planning activity. Lunch will be provided. We welcome Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, teachers, government, and non-profit organisations to join us for a fun and informative time! 

The event will take place on Saturday January 18th at 10am to 2pm (storm date February 1st).
