This year the Connecticut State Legislature is meeting in a “short session”. Audubon has several areas in which legislation is sought to protect birds and the places they need. Among these are legislation regarding:
Adding additional regulation on the use of anticoagulant rodenticide poisons which cause the death of raptors that eat poisoned rodents
Regulating neonicotinoids for non-agricultural use
Protecting vulnerable communities from climate change by supporting urban forestry and community interest in tree planting and maintenance, parks, and/or community gardens in densely populated areas
Join us as we host Robert LaFrance, Director of Policy for Audubon Connecticut, for a discussion of these and other legislative initiatives and learn what you can do to help getting them passed. Rob had a long career with DEEP as its legislative liaison and brings long relationships with legislators to Audubon.
