Please join us for the Columbus Audubon May program, the last of the
current season.

7:00 pm: Columbus Audubon presents a bit of history about CA in this, its
100th year.

7:30 pm: Our speaker is Mary Maloney, Director of the Chadwick Arboretum at
The Ohio State University. Mary is a life-long tree activist who hiked
across Africa in 1994, retracing African explorer Henry Morton Stanley's
route to verify the source of the Nile and Congo Rivers. She is now the
Director of the 60-acre Chadwick Arboretum and Learning Gardens at The Ohio
State University where she coordinates the mapping, inventory, and health
assessment of the campus trees. This intensive project was launched in
response to the near loss of two 150+ year old sycamore trees to a
temporary construction road. A groundswell of popular dissent for the
pending loss of those venerable trees, in tandem with the timely release of
the One Ohio State Framework Plan, propelled the Chadwick Arboretum into a
leadership role in a significant paradigm shift at Ohio State. *Tree Campus
USA* certification was awarded to The Ohio State University on Arbor Day,
2012, as a result of these efforts.

Columbus Audubon public programs are held at the Grange Insurance Audubon
Center (505 West Whittier Street in the Scioto-Audubon Metro Park on the
Whittier Peninsula).

The public -- especially birds -- are invited. All CA monthly programs are
free of charge.
