Join this BNRC-hosted online event with Lucas Savoy and Thomas Gregg to learn about Common Loon reintroduction efforts in Western Mass.

Lucas Savoy is a Wildlife Research Biologist and Deputy Director with the Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI), a Maine-based non-profit organization that focuses on wildlife conservation projects. Lucas has been involved with loon conservation studies for 26 years and has included projects throughout North America and Russia. Lucas is the organization’s project lead for a multi-year loon reintroduction project, in an effort to restore Common Loons to areas of Massachusetts, including the Berkshires.

Thomas Gregg has worked as a seasonal loon field biologist for Biodiversity Research Institute, for the past two seasons. From May thru October, Thomas can be found on many of the waterbodies in Berkshire County, scouting for loon activity, assessing loon breeding habitat, and keeping a close eye on translocated loons as well as established breeding loon pairs in the region.

The Zoom link will be emailed to RVSPs on the day of the event. This event will be recorded and shared with RSVPs and on BNRC’s YouTube channel.
