Roads & Raptors (and other wildlife, too!)
2023-09-11 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | The Leonardo, 209 E 500 S, Salt Lake City, UT, 84111, United States
With 40 million miles on planet Earth, roads have a significant impact on people and animals. While roads are vital to our society, they can also wreak havoc. Each day, a million animals are killed by cars in the United States alone. It’s a topic experts in the field of road ecology are seeking to quantify and mitigate, and it’s a story that award-winning author Ben Goldfarb shares in his latest book, Crossings.
Join HawkWatch International, Wildlands Network, and The Leonardo for a panel discussion with Goldfarb and local experts to learn more and snag your signed copy of the book—the night before it’s released to the public. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to meet an animal that has been directly impacted by vehicle collisions—Chrys, the Golden Eagle.
The panel will be moderated by Jordan Herman, PhD, Conservation Biologist for HawkWatch International. Panelists include:

Steve Slater, PhD, Director of Conservation Science, HawkWatch International
Katie Davis, J.D., Executive Director, Wildlands Network
Austin Green, PhD, Program Manager, Wasatch Wildlife Watch
Ben Goldfarb, Environmental Journalist and Author of Crossings

Raise a glass for raptor conservation as HawkWatch International joins HK Brewing for Kombucha for a Cause!
Each fall, thousands of raptors head south during their annual migration journey. For the past 37 years, HawkWatch International has been monitoring that fall migration to understand the health of raptors—and our environment. We’re kicking off another season by celebrating all things fall migration during Kombucha for a Cause!
We’ll share more about how you can experience the magic of migration for yourself this fall. Can’t make a trip to one of our migration sites? We’ll also have our Golden Eagle, Chrys, on hand so you still have the chance to see a raptor up close! Plus, our team will be happy to answer all of your burning birdy questions—all while enjoying some booch and bites!
No registration is necessary for this free event, but we will receive 10% of the night’s profits. So, join us to raise a glass—and funds—for raptor conservation! Please note that this event is 21+.
