This year’s conservation highlight is titled, Safe Passage: Lights Out for Migrating Birds (and Bats!)
In this program, Tim Jasinski, Wildlife Rehabilitation Coordinator at the Lake Erie Science and Nature Center will discuss the Ohio Lights Out citizen science initiative and what you can do to help migrating birds and bats.
While anyone can attend the 2023 Lake SWCD Conservation Celebration, Lake County residents are invited to guide conservation efforts in the county by voting in the special election. A ticket is not required to vote.
