Crawford Stewardship Project

Red Shouldered Hawks

The Kickapoo Initiative and Crawford Stewardship Project invite you to come and learn about Red-Shouldered Hawks in the "Driftless" Region and Music of the Mississippi River in a program presented by Jon Stravers, the Driftless Area Coordinator for Audubon's Mississippi River Initiative.

Saturday March 20th, 2010
Ten AM till about Noon
At the Historic Maple Ridge Congregational Church, est.1897

Jon has been conducting inventories of Red-shouldered Hawks along the Mississippi River for 30 years. In recent years his research has expanded to include other species that require large forest tracts such as Cerulean Warblers and other neo-tropical migrants. He conducts Bird Friendly Forestry Workshops and other education efforts involving birds and conservation.
This educational effort also includes river trips on the Mississippi Explorer Cruise boat with his Big Blue Sky band.
Jon and Kevin Dohse will also bring a message of spiritual connection to the planet in the form of music rounding out the morning with some original music from the river.

Order your Driftless Wisconsin poster today! "CAFOs are only profitable because so much of the cost and damage is externalized onto the environment, neighbors and wildlife. The monitoring, supervision, clean-up, restitution, fines are not happening, thus the true cost of CAFOs never find the way onto the balance books." Talking point from the CAFO Conference.
