SUMMARY:Wolves: Beyond Myths & Fantasies
DESCRIPTION:Wolves: Beyond Myths and Fantasies\, a journey of facts and feelings. \nIn Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn on Weds.\, Feb. 27th\, Wyoming author and naturalist Rick Lamplugh explores wolves beyond the myths and fantasies that often dictate how these essential predators are both treated and mistreated. In his presentation\, Lamplugh’s uses readings from his bestselling books\, as well as original music\, videos\, and photography. \nDoors will open at 6:30PM for community social\, with the one-hour presentation beginning around 7PM. There will be time afterward for Q&A\, and book sales and signing. \n“Wolves carry more baggage than any other wild animal I know. Sometimes the baggage is negative\, like the stereotypes perpetuated by children’s stories such as the Three Little Pigs. Sometimes the baggage is positive\, like how wolves single-handedly save the ecosystems in which they’re allowed to survive. Somewhere between those extremes rests reality. My goal is to explore the impact of wolves with a more balanced perspective\,” comments Lamplugh. \nFor three winters\, Lamplugh and his wife volunteered while living deep in the heart of Yellowstone. It is from these experiences that in 2013 he published\, In the Temple of Wolves: A Winter’s Immersion in Wild Yellowstone and in 2017\, Deep into Yellowstone: A Year’s Immersion in Grandeur and Controversy. \nLiving in Gardiner\, MT at Yellowstone’s northern entrance\, Lamplugh writes to protect wildlife and wild lands. “As a naturalist\, Rick knows his biology and weaves into the narrative important emerging science; the wolf figures large in this wild world\, exemplifying top-down ecological cascades. Rick describes the stark beauty and treacherous cruelty of nature with an honest voice that leaves no detail unsaid\, be it exquisite or morbid. It’s not only the outer struggles in nature that are revealed in Rick’s writing\, but also inner battles with his own human nature.” Professor and author\, William J. Ripple\, PhD. \nLamplugh’s stories have appeared in Yellowstone Reports and the literary journals Composite Arts Magazine\, Gold Man Review\, Phoebe\, Soundings Review\, and Feathered Flounder. He is a Jim Stone Grand Prize for Non-Fiction winner. \n347 Division St. in Leavenworth | www.wenatcheeriverinstitute.org | (509)548-0181

SUMMARY:The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers & Why They Matter
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee River Institute Red Barn Speaker Event | 347 Division St.\, Leavenworth \nBen Goldfarb\, author of Eager\, The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter \nWednesday\, March 13th | Admission by donation | All ages welcome \nDoors open at 6:30PM for community social\, presentation at 7PM \nwww.wenatcheeriverinstitute.org | (509)548-0181 x4 \n_____________________________________________________________________ \nThe Wenatchee River Institute welcomes award-winning environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb in the Red Barn Wed.\, Mar. 13th\, doors open at 6:30PM for community social with presentation beginning at 7PM. Goldfarb will read from his book\, The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter. We will learn that our modern idea of a functional\, healthy landscape is misguided\, distorted by the fur trade that trapped millions of beavers from North America’s lakes and rivers\, decimating their populations. Indeed\, by the early 1900s beavers had been extirpated from many of their historic habitats. \nThe consequences of losing beavers were profound: streams eroded\, wetlands dried\, and many species\, from salmon to swans\, lost vital habitat. Today\, a growing coalition of Beaver Believers –scientists\, ranchers\, and passionate citizens– recognizes that ecosystems with beavers are far healthier than those without. From the Nevada deserts to the Scottish Highlands\, Beaver Believers are hard at work restoring these industrious ecosystem engineers to their former haunts. \nBeavers are considered a keystone species\, as their protection helps to enable all other members of the same biological community to thrive. Goldfarb describes beavers as ecological and hydrological Swiss Army knives\, in the right circumstances capable of tackling many landscape problems\, from flood mitigation and water quality improvement\, to increasing water for agriculture and salmon runs. \nEager is a powerful story about one of the world’s most influential species\, including how North America was colonized\, drastically changing landscapes over the centuries\, and how beavers can help us fight drought\, flooding\, wildfire\, extinction\, and the ravages of climate change. Ultimately\, it is about how we can learn to coexist\, harmoniously and beneficially\, with our fellow travelers on this planet. \n“One of the things I most love about beavers is the passion they inspire. As I’ve traveled around the country talking about Eager\, I’ve heard countless beaver stories –and opinions– from readers who have lived alongside these fascinating\, vital\, occasionally challenging rodents. I’m excited to share my own stories\,” said Goldfarb. \nIn addition to writing about wildlife\, Goldfarb has chased endangered woodpeckers through military base war games\, withstood a Yellowstone grizzly bear’s bluff charge\, tagged sea turtles\, radio-tracked bats\, and hand-lined sharks. \nWinner of the 2019 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award\, Goldfarb writes about wildlife conservation\, marine science\, and public lands management. He is also an accomplished fiction writer. His work has been featured in Science\, Mother Jones\, Audubon Magazine\, The Guardian\, High Country News\, Modern Farmer\, Orion\, World Wildlife Magazine\, Scientific American\, Yale Environment 360\, and many others. He holds a Master of Environmental Management from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and is a 2018 North American Congress for Conservation Biology journalist fellow.

Weed Board Field Supervisor and Botanist Julie Sanderson will teach field identification tips for a list of 15 “most wanted” invasive species.  Participants will be provided with pocket guides and an invitation to be on the lookout for these invaders while hiking in the Wenatchee Foothills – and what to do about them. \nTake home a free weed I.D. booklet! \nRSVP appreciated: susan@cdlandtrust.org

SUMMARY:Arctic Solitaire
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 27\, 2019\n6:30 pm 8:30 pm\n\n\nBarn Beach Reserve\, 347 Division St.\, Leavenworth\n\nWenatchee River Institute Presents-Arctic Solitaire \nJoin adventure traveler\, photographer\, author and “barfly in training\, Paul Soaders on a hilarious and evocative ride of misadventures in the Arctic. In his book Arctic Solitaire\, Souders shares exploits across four summers\, thousands of miles of a vast inland sea\, and the unpredictable Arctic wilderness—while offering an insightful look at what compels a person to embark on adventure. His accompanying images of the landscape\, people\, and wildlife of the remote Hudson Bay region are\, in a word\, stunning. \nIt was all for a picture\, Soaders dreamed of photographing the Arctic’s most iconic animal\, the polar bear\, in its natural habitat. It was a seemingly simple plan: Haul a 22-foot fishing boat northeast a few thousand miles\, launch\, and shoot the perfect polar bear photo. After an inauspicious start and endless days spent driving to the end of northern Canada’s road system\, he struggled along for weeks\, grounding on rocks\, hiding from storms\, and stopping in isolated Inuit villages until finally\, he found the ice and the world was transformed. The ice had brought hundreds of walrus into the bay and dozens of polar bears arrived to hunt and feed. For a few magical days\, he was surrounded by incredible wildlife photo ops . He was hooked… and you will be\, too!
