WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Rescue Northern Berkshires Wildlife will hold a hybrid meeting on Wednesday, April 23, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Milne Public Library, located at 1095 Main St, Williamstown, MA 01267.

 

Individuals can also register to join the meeting via Zoom.

 

The event will focus on the impact of rodenticides on wildlife populations in Massachusetts. According to organizers, raptors, coyotes, and other predators that play a role in local ecosystems have been harmed or killed after consuming poisoned rodents.

 

The meeting will include information about Mass Audubon’s Rescue Raptors program, which supports community efforts to reduce the use of rodent poisons. Wildlife advocates in the Northern Berkshires have formed a local campaign team under this program.

 

Attendees will learn about the ways in which rodent poisons can harm wildlife and the local campaign's plans to reduce their use in the Northern Berkshires. Wildlife advocates from the surrounding area are invited to attend.
