By looking at this large, historical data set on when and where golden eagles decided to make a breeding attempt, we developed predictions about how Golden Eagles will respond to climate change, drought, wildfire, and loss of shrubland in Utah. So what did we find out? Join HWI Research Biologist Eric Chabot to find out! He'll also discuss our golden eagle transmitter study, and how prey resources affect golden eagle reproduction."

These are open to the community: https://bennioncenter.org/.../mlk-jr-saturday-service. This event is part of MLK Week. This year's theme is “Good Trouble," a term often associated with former United States Representative John Lewis. As a founder and leader of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Lewis was the youngest person to speak at the March on Washington, August 28, 1963, and taught us young people must be the change they want to see by pushing and forcing older generations for equitable change. 'I want to see young people in America feel the spirit of the 1960s and find a way to get in the way. To find a way to get in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble.'
