Megan Whatton – Habitat Network
Rescheduled from October 11.
Meet Megan Whatton and learn about her work with Habitat Network, which is creating a movement to transform yards and urban landscapes to functional diverse habitat to support wildlife and connect people to nature in communities around the world.
Habitat Network is a collaboration between The Nature Conservancy and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The Network is powered by YardMap, a citizen science mapping tool used to capture data about ecologically relevant practices and to search for local information when planning for and improving a yard, school, or other greenspace.
Megan Whatton is the Habitat Network Project Manager for The Nature Conservancy, where she works with scientists, partners, private landowners, citizen scientists and volunteers to re-imagine their properties and urban properties as habitat for the benefit of wildlife and people. Megan has an MS Degree in Environmental Science and Policy from George Mason University.
