Good Morning;
The 13th Annual Baird Creek Meeting and Banquet will be held on
Monday, March 28th at the Clarion Hotel in Downtown Green Bay (201
Main Street). A reception starts at 5 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m. and
the meeting at 7 p.m. Our Board of Directors is extremely excited to
share our accomplishments and challenges with you. We are also
excited about our keynote speaker this year, Dr. Stanley Temple.
Stanley A. Temple is the Beers-Bascom Professor Emeritus in
Conservation in the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Forest and
Wildlife Ecology, and former Chair of the Conservation Biology and
Sustainable Development Program in the UW’s Gaylord Nelson Institute
for Environmental Studies. For 32 years he occupied the faculty
position once held by Aldo Leopold, and while in that position he
received every University of Wisconsin teaching award for which he was
eligible. Since his retirement from academia in 2007 he has been a
Senior Fellow of the Aldo Leopold Foundation. He and his 75 graduate
students have worked on conservation problems in 21 different
countries, and have helped save some of the world's rarest and most
endangered species. He has received honorary recognitions from The
Society for Conservation Biology, The Wildlife Society and The
Wisconsin Society for Ornithology and an international Chevron
Conservation Award, all recognizing his distinguished achievements in
the field of conservation. He is a Fellow of The American
Ornithologists' Union, The Explorer's Club, the New York Zoological
Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Professor Temple's service to the conservation community at large is
extensive. He has been Chairman of the Wisconsin Chapter of The Nature
Conservancy and President of The Society for Conservation Biology. He
has served on editorial boards or as editor of Ecological
Applications, Conservation Biology, Forest Science, Bird Conservation
(which he founded), and The Passenger Pigeon. His bibliography
contains over 330 publications. Professor Temple's career in
conservation and ecology has been characterized by highly respected
scholarship in conservation biology and wildlife ecology, by
interdisciplinary approaches to solving environmental problems, and by
energetic contributions to the conservation movement at scales from
local to global.
