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

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.

SUMMARY:Wild Ideas: Everything You Wanted to Know About Pacific Salmon
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Chelan Douglas Land Trust: Wild Ideas-Everything You Wanted to Know About Pacific Salmon But Never Thought to Ask \nThis year for Wild Ideas\, we are exploring the hidden aspects of our local ecosystems through short Zoom talks with experts on three Thursdays in March. \nEverything you wanted to know about Pacific Salmon but never thought to ask. \nWhy do salmon travel hundreds of miles from freshwater to the ocean and back to complete their life cycle? Why are there seven species of Pacific salmon but only one Atlantic salmon species? How do salmon find their way home? Is there really such a thing as a saber-toothed salmon? Join fish ecologist and conservation biologist Tracy Bowerman for the answers to these questions and more. \nTracy has a Ph.D. in aquatic ecology and has studied salmon and charr throughout the Pacific Northwest for the past 14 years. Her research includes topics ranging from cutting open dead fish to count how many eggs they have left\, to modeling how much energy it takes for an adult salmon to travel 600 miles upstream over 8 dams and 8\,000 feet of elevation. Tracy loves learning about salmon\, as well as fishing for and eating them. When not researching salmon\, Tracy can be found exploring North Central Washington’s mountains and rivers. \nThis event is free. Registration is required\, but you can register up to the day of the event. Register here. \nWe’ll have a quick introduction\, then a 15-20 minute talk (pre-recorded to reduce technical difficulties)\, followed by a Q&A with the speaker. So feel free to get comfy\, grab a tasty beverage\, and join us!

SUMMARY:Indigenous Language Class

SUMMARY:The Ethical Photographer: A Wildlife Photographer's Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by North Cascades Institute \nInstructor Mukul Soman \nClass Tuition: $15 \nThis is an online class. \nMukul Soman manages to get some breathtaking shots of wildlife. Looking at his images you’d swear he was right there with the animals. But in fact Mukul works hard to acquire his images while impacting his subjects as little as possible\, thereby preserving their wild way of life. And yet his photographs capture extremly evocative\, dramatic\, and beautiful moments. \nThis presentation by the Seattle-based photographer promises eye-popping work accompanied by a tempered and respectful approach to these subjects that Mukul\, and all of us\, so dearly love. \nFor more information click here.

SUMMARY:Wild Ideas: Unbust the Crust: Restoring Unseen Desert Diversity
DESCRIPTION:The Chelan Douglas Land Trust presents: Wild Ideas-Unbust the Crust: Restoring Unseen Desert Diversity \nThis year for Wild Ideas\, we are exploring the hidden aspects of our local ecosystems through short Zoom talks with experts on three Thursdays in March. \nExplore the fascinating world of biocrusts\, hidden in plain sight. \nBiological soil crust (biocrusts) are the community of lichens\, mosses\, cyanobacteria\, and more which bind together the soil surface in drylands. Often overlooked\, biocrusts are an integral member of arid ecosystems and have complex influences on water infiltration\, soil stability\, nutrient cycling\, and plant communities. This talk will cover their biology\, ecological role\, and the exciting new field of biocrust as a restoration tool. \nLydia Bailey is currently pursuing a PhD with Dr. Matt Bowker and Dr. Anita Antoninka at Northern Arizona University. Born in Alabama\, she moved west to get her Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science – Biology from Whitman College in Walla Walla\, WA. I found a new home in arid landscapes and have spent the last ten years living and working across the western US. Beginning as a botanist\, I worked for The Nature Conservancy\, National Park Service\, and Bureau of Land Management before beginning graduate school in Flagstaff. My dissertation focuses on the use of soil organisms to improve restoration outcomes on highly disturbed areas of the Mojave Desert\, in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management. \nThis event is free. Registration is required\, but you can register up to the day of the event. Register here. \nWe’ll have a quick introduction\, then a 15-20 minute talk (pre-recorded to reduce technical difficulties)\, followed by a Q&A with the speaker. So feel free to get comfy\, grab a tasty beverage\, and join us!
