Flying Through the Riparian Zone
Episode 5
Thursday, 7 August, 2025
On this month's episode of Conservation Starters we are joined by Kim Adelson, vice president and education chair of the South Sound Bird Alliance. Together, we dive into the the world of birds. We discuss the role birds play in riparian zones, areas near streams and rivers and why their presences is a vital part of a healthy and functioning ecosystem. We also explore the history of riparian zones in the Pacific northwest and discuss how this has led to a decline in bird species regionally. Tune in to learn more about how the South Sound Bird Alliance is supporting conservation efforts and learn about the role you can play to be a part of the solution!
