With a lifelong passion for birds, Keith has connected countless people with nature and sparked the saving of two priceless wild places in the city.
Hear how a kind neighbor helped open the world of birds for him as a kid … why Philadelphia is a great city for wildlife … how on a larkhe ran a citywide bird census, still going strong 33 years later … how years of bird census data convinced the water department to save and reopen a beautiful wild reservoir in a low-income neighborhood … discovering rare birds thriving in industrial settings … how a passion for birding (and the financial crisis!) allowed saving a vast exquisite meadow in the city … how despite declines some bird species are actually increasing or rebounding … and more.
You’ll be drawn in by his easygoing enthusiasm and deep knowledge.
