SUMMARY:Foot Morphology & Track Identification
DESCRIPTION:Foot Morphology & Track Identification \nHosted by Wenatchee River Institute \nEvery time we step outside of our door\, there are myriad stories to be told of the comings and goings of animals in the world\, and one of the oldest human capacities is to read and interpret these stories. The art and science of tracking offers a holistic ecological window into the happenings of the living world around us. \nIn this 3-part series\, you will gain a foundational introduction to the vast world of wildlife tracking. We will explore:\n• The art of inquiry and engaging curiosity in the natural world\n• Basic wildlife foot physiology and morphology\n• Clear print identification\n• Concepts in behavior and wildlife sign interpretation\n• How wildlife interacts with landscapes \nLimit of 30 participants. You can sign up for individual classes or the whole series.\nCost: $15 per class\, $32 (members) whole series\, $40 (non-members) whole series\nREGISTER FOR INDIVIDUAL CLASSES UNDER THE CALENDAR EVENT FOR THAT SPECIFIC DATE. \nEach of the session will be online and last for 75-90 minutes. We will cover three core concepts of wildlife tracking: \nMarch 16th – Foot Morphology and Track Identification\nThis session will dive into the world of animal foot morphology and how physiological structures tell us deeper evolutionary stories about how animals are related to each other\, and how they relate to their landscapes. Studying these concepts ultimately gives us the tools to walk up on a set of tracks and begin the process of figuring out who left them. \nApril 20th – Sign Tracking and Ecology\nIn this final session\, we will look at all the ways that animals leave “tracks” on the landscape that are not just from their feet. Sign tracking involves taking a larger ecological perspective into all of the ways animals go about their daily lives in the world. This practice brings us into the fuller story of the ways that animals use the landscape\, and that the landscape has shaped them. \nEnvironmental educators\, naturalists\, outdoor leaders\, or simply amateur naturalists are who have been interested in reading the stories left behind on the landscape are sure to find this 3-part series fun and engaging. \nInstructor Bio:\nMarcus is a naturalist\, educator\, facilitator\, and photographer. He has worked in wilderness education\, outdoor leadership\, and conservation for numerous organizations and communities across North America and Europe. He is engaged in telling stories that bring to light and life\, the complexity of humans living in the 21st century. Marcus currently lives in the Snoqualmie Valley in Washington State\, just east of Seattle. He is the Lead Instructor for an internationally renowned environmental leadership immersion program for adults at the Wilderness Awareness School in Duvall\, WA\, and is also an evaluator with Cybertracker Conservation\, an organization dedicated to providing leading edge assessment and certification in the art and science of wildlife tracking across the globe. \n\n\n\n\n\nCONTACT INFO\n Rachel Bishop\n rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org\n 509-548-0181 ext 5

SUMMARY:Coloring the Conservation Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Film & Speaker Series presents Coloring the Conservation Conversation \nHosted by the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center \nJoin us in viewing the presentation Coloring the Conservation Conversation by Dr. J. Drew Lanham and participate in a follow-up Zoom Q&A Sessions with a local panel on Tuesday\, March 16 at 7 PM. \nIn his presentation “Coloring the Conservation Conversation” Dr. Lanham will discuss what it means to embrace the full breadth of his African-American heritage and his deep kinship to nature and adoration of birds. The convergence of ornithologist\, college professor\, poet\, author and conservation activist blend to bring our awareness of the natural world and our moral responsibility for it forward in new ways. Candid by nature — and because of it — Dr. Lanham will examine how conservation must be a rigorous science and evocative art\, inviting diversity and race to play active roles in celebrating our natural world. \nA native of Edgefield\, South Carolina\, Dr. J. Drew Lanham is the author of The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature\, which received the Reed Award from the Southern Environmental Law Center and the Southern Book Prize\, and was a finalist for the John Burroughs Medal. He is a birder\, naturalist\, and hunter-conservationist who has published essays and poetry in publications including Orion\, Audubon\, Flycatcher\, and Wilderness\, and in several anthologies\, including The Colors of Nature\, State of the Heart\, Bartram’s Living Legacy\, and Carolina Writers at Home. An Alumni Distinguished Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Master Teacher at Clemson University\, he and his family live in the Upstate of South Carolina\, a soaring hawk’s downhill glide from the southern Appalachian escarpment that the Cherokee once called the Blue Wall. \nPreview the presentation at your leisure and join us virtually for a Q&A Session with a local panel on Tuesday\, March 16 from 7 – 8 PM. \nREGISTER HERE \nSpecial thanks to our sponsor: North Central Washington Audubon Society\, a 501(c)3 non-profit that works to enhance\, protect\, and restore healthy natural ecosystems and native biodiversity using science\, advocacy\, education\, and on-the-ground conservation to promote the welfare of birds in North Central Washington. \n \n  \nThis film is a part of the Wenatchee Valley Museum’s Environmental Film & Speaker Series. Sponsorship support from foundations\, community sponsorships\, and individual giving allows us to offer these programs free to the community. This series helps connect our community to the world around us\, raise awareness of issues impacting the environment upon which we all depend\, and identify actions our community can take to improve and sustain our world and our Valley. \nPlease consider supporting the Wenatchee Valley Museum by joining us as a member and donor.
