Webinar: Why the Weedkiller Dicamba is a Problem for Wildlife
Join us Wednesday, March 8 at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT for the second in Audubon magazine's series of "Behind the Story" conversations. This time we'll delve into our recent feature story on dicamba, a controversial herbicide blamed for widespread destruction of crops and the native plants birds need. 

Senior editor Andy McGlashen will talk with three people whose experience and expertise shaped his reporting: weed scientist and consultant Ford Baldwin, National Wildlife Federation senior agriculture program specialist Lekha Knuffman, and Audubon Delta plants for birds program manager Dan Scheiman.  

Tune in to learn more about why conservationists and scientists are worried about dicamba, how it got that way, and what advocates say should happen next.
