Dr. Jill Deppe, the National Audubon Society’s Senior Director, Mirgratory Bird Initiative, will be the Keynote Speaker at this year’s Meadowlands Birding Festival, which will be held on Sunday, Oct. 1, from 8:30 am to 3 pm at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst.

In 2018, Dr. Jill Deppe joined the National Audubon Society to launch its Migratory Bird Initiative. As its Senior Director, Jill leads efforts to synthesize spatial science from across the Western Hemisphere and full annual cycle, with an emphasis on the migratory period. The Initiative’s mission: use science to shape conservation actions at scale, engage bird enthusiasts and mobilize them to promote the safety of birds in their communities, and support bird- and environment-friendly public policy.
