This fall, we invite you to slow down, look closely, and connect with the forests of Marin and with the community of people caring for them. Our new "Rooted in Connection" guided hike series explores the stories and science behind healthy forests and the role we all play in their future.
Birds are recognized as indicators of ecological change (Carignan & Villard, 2002). They also provide a wide variety of important ecosystem services including devouring pests, pollinating flowers, dispersing seeds, scavenging carrion, cycling nutrients, and modifying the environment in ways that benefit other species (Whelan et al., 2015).
