Eric Beck Hired as
Oklahoma's First
Import Bird Area Coordinator
The Oklahoma Audubon Council is pleased to announce Eric Beck
has been hired as Oklahoma's Important Bird Area Coordinator!
This is currently a part-time position, but is very significant
as Eric is National Audubon's first employee in the state of
Oklahoma.
Eric's officially works for the National Audubon Society, and
the position is a joint effort of all the Audubon chapters in
the state. The position is funded by the Oklahoma Audubon
Council, and administered by the Tulsa Audubon Society. We were
able to accomplish this major milestone through an Innovations
Grant from the TogetherGreen program.
The primary focus of Eric's work over the next year will be
marking fences to protect Lesser Prairie-Chickens in northwest
Oklahoma, and to continue implementation of the Important Bird
Areas program in Oklahoma.
