In this episode, our host Deja Perkins speaks with J’orge Garcia of the Windy City Bird Lab about how he’s integrating technology and birders to build stronger community ties. In collaboration with several local organizations and projects, J’orge and his supporters are creating new spaces for social growth while implementing tried and true methods for conservation. Learn more about one of the quickest growing city-wide initiatives and how you can get involved, too! Listen now.
