Forty percent of all insect species now face extinction. Since 1970, the number of songbirds in the United States has dropped by over 3 billion.

Wilson Kerr will present on this topic with the hope of raising awareness and informing our community. He will also cover some practical, effective non-toxic alternatives.

Wilson Kerr writes the monthly award- winning Time Outdoors column for The Concord Bridge and is an amateur naturalist and avid outdoorsman. He has two young daughters and has developed a personal interest in the largely unregulated use of lawn pesticides.
