Event Details

The Branford Land Trust Winter 2025 Speaker Series continues with “The Mission of Preserving Our Wildlife” with Christine Cummings.

Christine will speak on the mission of A Place Called Hope, with an emphasis on birds of prey. She will introduce and be joined by two species, a hawk and an owl, offering us the chance to connect intimately with these incredible birds. Since 98% of the conflicts these animals face have to do with us humans, Christine will offer simple tips or ways that we can all better coexist with the wildlife within our own backyards.

Christine has a background working with animals and devoted her adult life to Wildlife Rehabilitation since 2005. In 2007, APCH was founded, with the mission of preserving wildlife for the future. As a State and Federally licensed Bird of Prey Wildlife Rehabilitator, Christine admits on average 500-600 patients per year. Her daily routine consists of catering to the needs of injured, orphaned, or sick birds of prey, as well as the 40 resident ambassador birds who call A PLACE CALLED HOPE home. Raising awareness about these incredible birds and the common conflicts they face living so closely to us humans is her educational goal. Learn more at www.aplacecalledhoperaptors.com.

The Branford Land Trust Winter 2025 Speaker Series is made possible by a grant from the Branford Community Foundation and Guilford Savings Bank.
