The BCAS is pleased to announce that Wildlife Biologist Meghan Kolk of the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey will join us at this year’s Meadowlands Festival of Birding, which takes place on Sunday, Oct. 2, at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst. Meghan will be speaking on American Kestrels.

Meghan is responsible for writing Beach Management Plans that provide for the protection and recovery of listed species of beach nesting birds and plants on New Jersey’s beaches. In addition, she is working on a project to restore native grassland habitat for nesting birds including the state endangered Upland Sandpiper. Meghan earned a B.S. in Biology from The College of New Jersey in 1998. Her hobbies include bird watching and creating works of wildlife art from items found on the beach.
