"Wildly Connected: Free and Protected" Halloween Talk and Party!

Discover the inspiring story of how women came together over a century ago to protect wild birds from extinction—and how their collective action led to the groundbreaking International Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Presented by the Ohio Wildlife Center, this talk weaves past and present, highlighting both historical activism and ongoing efforts to rescue and rehabilitate Ohio’s native birds. A powerful reminder that when women unite around a cause, lasting change takes flight.

Info: Ohio Wildlife Center staff and volunteers rescue and rehabilitate thousands of birds each year. We have intensive firsthand experience with the threats faced by wild birds in their Ohio habitats. More than 100 years ago, Americans came together to march, protest and organize boycotts against another threat – the fashion craze of feather hats, which nearly drove several species of birds to extinction. This is the story of how people fought and won passage of the International Migratory Bird Treaty Act – one of the oldest and most important wildlife protection laws on the books.

Learn how the power of coming together can leave everlasting change.
