WWO promotes safe coexistence among black bears\, humans\, pets\, and livestock. Their Grizzly Bear Outreach Project helps to disseminate a more accurate understanding of grizzly bear behavior\, as well as information about grizzly recovery in the North Cascades and Selkirk Ecosystems. \nThis past winter brought a number of cougar encounters to the upper Wenatchee Valley. WWO’s Cougar Outreach provides educational materials about cougar behavior\, habitat needs\, their prey base\, and what to do should you encounter a cougar. \nRich Beausoleil\, Bear and Cougar Specialist and Karelian Bear Dog Program lead for WA Department of Fish and Wildlife\, will also take part in the evening’s presentation. Beausoleil will be accompanied by his Karelian Bear Dog Indy\, and answer questions about non-lethal predator aversion\, wildlife issues in the Wenatchee Valley\, and preventing wildlife conflicts. Karelian Bear Dogs are trained to haze bears and other wild animals from areas where they are not welcome. \nSaid Beausoleil\, “I was just in downtown Leavenworth Monday [Mar. 25th] because a family of bears was utilizing Enchantment Park due to the amount of attractants people had left out. It is important to understand it is a matter of personal responsibility to avoid conflicts with wildlife.” \nWWO’s Gray Wolf Outreach provides current\, sound-science as well as techniques to successfully coexist with wolves\, and how to employ non-lethal wolf management measures whenever possible. Gray wolf populations are being reestablished across the Western United States and since 2008\, have come of their own volition north from Canada into Washington State. \nThe Smiths are a wildlife biologist-ecologist team and have spent their careers working on wildlife and wildlife habitat related issues\, as well as endangered species management. They share a lifelong interest in\, and experience with\, large carnivores. Lorna has served on boards of directors for a number of Northwest environmental organizations\, and has over 30 years of experience managing large conservation projects and campaigns. Darrell\, with degrees in both fisheries and wildlife\, has lead large-scale habitat restoration projects\, managed watershed and forestry evaluations\, and worked with large carnivores for more than 30 years. \nAll ages welcome and admission is by donation | 347 Division Street in Leavenworth www.wenatcheeriverinstitute.org | (509)548-0181 x4

SUMMARY:Rock Glaciers of the Eastern Cascades
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Event at the Wenatchee River Institute\, Wednesday\, April 24th \nRock Glaciers of the Eastern Cascades\, Professor Karl Lillquist PhD\, Geography Department at Central WA University \nCentral WA University Professor Karl Lillquist will present Rock Glaciers of the Eastern Cascades in Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn on Wednesday\, April 24th. Doors open at 6:30PM for community social and no-host refreshments\, presentation begins 7PM. \nWhen we think of the Cascade Mountain Range\, glaciers often come to mind. Author and prolific climber Fred Beckey’s classic book is aptly titled A Range of Glaciers: The Exploration and Survey of the Northern Cascade Range. However\, rock glaciers have not claimed the same amount of fame. These oft-overlooked glaciers elongate to broad deposits of rock and ice\, showing evidence of movement away from steep slopes in mountainous terrain. \nTraditionally\, Rock glaciers were considered key landforms and climate indicators of the more continental mountain ranges\, where snowfall and winter temperatures are lower than their marine counterparts –little attention was given to rock glaciers in the marine-influenced Cascade Range. Rock glaciers across Washington’s Eastern Cascades have now been identified\, mapped\, and analyzed in an effort to understand how\, why\, and when\, they formed. Such glaciers are also being used as a tool to better understand permafrost in the Eastern Cascades\, and its significance as a regional water supply in a warming world. \nLillquist is a physical geographer who has been a CWU faculty member since 1995. His first academic love is physical geography field study and\, growing up in Coulee City\, WA\, this likely played a big part in developing his focus. \n“I grew up amidst the Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington. My parent’s house was situated on a late Pleistocene flood scoured basalt surface\, and I grew up recreating in this unique landscape. Also\, I spent my summers removing rocks\, glacial erratics\, from wheat fields located behind the terminus of the Okanogan Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice sheet\,” tells Lillquist. \nLillquist teaches physical geography\, geomorphology\, soils\, snow\, air photo analysis\, field methods\, mountain environments\, arid lands\, and graduate research. His current research is focused on environmental change in the mountains and deserts of the western U.S.\, with an emphasis on using geomorphology\, soils\, and stratigraphy to better understand glaciers\, rock glaciers\, glacial lakes\, and arroyos. \nAll ages welcome and admission is by donation | 347 Division Street in Leavenworth www.wenatcheeriverinstitute.org | Event Link
