SUMMARY:Virtual Bird Sounds Series
DESCRIPTION:Into birding but the songs have you stumped? Whether you are new to learning bird sounds or you want a good refresher\, this course is for you. Join Chris Earley\, Arboretum Interpretive Biologist and author of 5 bird field guides\, for a series of eight virtual noon-hour lectures that cover over 150 bird species! We will focus on songs and some common\, distinctive calls and will apply different methods to remember them. Each course will start with a short intro topic about birding by ear before we dive into the bird species. Learn how to make your own calls\, read a sonogram\, make up your own memorable bird song sayings\, and more! Each class will finish with a 10-15 minute discussion period so you can ask all your bird-related questions. See the descriptions below to find out which bird groups are covered in each class. All eight programs cost of $70 (plus tax) – that’s less than $10 per program! This fund-raising initiative will help support other Arboretum educational programs. \nFee: $70.00 + H.S.T. This event will take place on Zoom. The list of topics with the presentation date is listed below. If you miss any of the programs\, each one is recorded and the recording will be sent to you the next day. The recordings will be available for one month after the last program. \nMondays and Wednesdays\, March 17\, 19\, 24\, 26\, 31\, April 2\, 7 and 9\, 2025\, Noon – 1 p.m.

SUMMARY:Scientific perspectives on the sustainable development of our relationship with farm animals.
DESCRIPTION:With funds received from family and friends of the late Fred Presant\, the OAC Alumni Foundation supports the F.W. Presant Memorial Lecture series\, which features internationally recognized experts to speak on farmed animal welfare. \nLinda Keeling is Professor of Animal Welfare at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences\, where she manages an active research group in animal behaviour and welfare. She received her PhD in Zoology from the University of Edinburgh\, UK\, and has worked previously for the Scottish Agricultural Colleges. She also has roots here at the University of Guelph\, having completed postdoctoral studies with Professors Ian Duncan and Frank Hurnik in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science. \nHer research asks fundamental questions related to social behaviour\, motivation and cognition in farm\, sport and companion animals\, but also applied questions related to the effects of housing and management on animals\, and the development of animal welfare assessment methodologies. She is active in multidisciplinary projects and in science-based animal welfare policy development. She is a member of the EU Platform on Animal Welfare and works in various projects for the European Food Safety Authority. She is a Fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Forestry and Agriculture.
