Pesticides, Insect Loss, and our Future: The human toll of using neonicotoids

  • James P Coughlin Center 625 East County Road Y Oshkosh, WI, 54901 United States (map)

Winnebago Audubon in collaboration with Clean Wisconsin, UW Oshkosh, Oshkosh Seed Savers, and several other environmental organizations are sponsoring this special, informative program.

Learn the facts about “neonics” and the serious concerns surrounding these pervasive pesticides that are the most widely used in Wisconsin on millions of acres of agricultural land and urban land each year.  You will want to know their effects on animal life, particularly birds, and ways you can get involved in making a difference!  

Our expert presenters are Sara Walling, Water & Agriculture Program Director for Clean Wisconsin, and Shannon Davis-Foust, Department of Biology & Environmental Studies at UW Oshkosh. 

This program is free and open to the public.
