Raptors, Rodenticides and Ricardi: Rescue Area Wildlife from Rodenticides

Saturday, February 28th, 10am – 12pm
In person at the Hitchcock Center for the Environment
or virtually via a Zoom link provided after you register

Raptors, foxes, and other predators balance Massachusetts’ ecosystems. But shocking numbers of these iconic creatures have been sickened and killed after eating poisoned rodents. Mass Audubon’s Rescue Raptors team has partnered with a local group of wildlife advocates, Save the Raptors Connecticut River and Quabbin Valley, and Tom Ricardi’s Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Center in Conway, MA to offer this  free hybrid program to educate the public about this issue. Join us to learn about the harms of rodent poisons, wildlife-safe rodent control options, and how to get involved. This event is co-sponsored by Mass Audubon,  Kestrel Land Trust, the Hitchcock Center for the Environment, and the Amherst Conservation Department.
