The Wetlands Committee held a webinar on June 14, 2022 regarding the value of wetlands and wetlands restoration efforts. The video of this webinar is now available to be viewed on our YouTube Channel or use this link to view the video directly.
Wetlands are of great ecological importance because they provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife, including both migrating and year-round bird species. They also serve other important functions, a few of which are: improving the quality of natural water, sequestering carbon, and mitigating floods. Safeguarding them and restoring them is a benefit to all.
In “Why Healthy Wetlands are Important – Restoration Success Stories”, our guest Julian Wood, SF Bay Program Leader of Point Blue Conservation Science will elaborate on this and share examples of Point Blue’s restoration successes around the SF Bay. This is part of an ongoing Wetlands Committee webinar series.
Julian Wood, San Francisco Bay Program Leader, Point Blue Conservation Science, has spent many years in varied regions studying bird ecosystems and supervising projects focused on bird response to riparian restoration. As the SF Bay Program Leader at Point Blue, Julian works to promote conservation actions that address climate change and land-use change in ways that benefit human and wetland bird communities throughout the Bay Area.
