SUMMARY:Wilderness Alps: Conservation in the North Cascades
DESCRIPTION:Wilderness Alps: Conservation in the North Cascades – and What’s Left to Do \nHosted by the North Cascades Institute \nInstructor: Phil Fenner \nClass Tuition: $10 \nClick here to register for this event. \nThere was a time when commercial interests treated the forests\, rivers and mountains of the North Cascades as a limitless resource bank of timber\, minerals and hydropower. These industries faced little resistance until the North Cascades Conservation Council came along. Founded in 1957 by now-legendary conservationists like Polly Dyer\, Patrick Goldsworthy\, Phil and Laura Zalesky and David Brower\, the all-volunteer organization lobbied for conservation in the North Cascades — a full decade before the environmental movement took hold across the country. \n“Turning out members for hearings\, going to court\, deploying hiking guides and picture books\, (NCCC) has helped preserve 2.21 million acres in Washington state between Stevens Pass and the Canadian border as parks\, recreation areas\, and wilderness areas\,” explains HistoryLink.org. \nAn early conservation success occurred when the Forest Service designated the Glacier Peak Wilderness area in 1960. In 1961\, NCCC decided to advocate for a full-fledged North Cascades National Park\, and initiated a series of studies\, surveys and imaginative efforts to grow public support. A long road was ahead of them but the group and their friends persevered and on October 2\, 1968\, President Lyndon Johnson signed the park into law just weeks before his term of office ended. \nPhil Fenner\, the current president of NCCC\, and other NCCC board members will share a program that will take you inside the personal accounts of the individuals who fought this battle and others\,\, including the many notable women who played crucial roles and the innovative tactics they developed to sway the public. He will also touch on how this region’s tribal peoples played a role in conflicts over resources. \nAside from working to establish the North Cascades National Park Complex\, NCCC was a central force in establishing the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center during the Seattle City Light Skagit Hydropower Project’s re-licensing process 30 years ago. The Institute now calls the Learning Center home and our relationship with NCCC continues. \nBut the story of conservation in the North Cascades doesn’t end there. Recently\, a plan for an mining in the headwaters of the Skagit Valley was\, thankfully\, halted with NCCC’s help\, but the threat may return until the area is permanently protected. Today\, the impacts of climate change and wildfires have revived the idea of large-scale logging of our National Forests.  The conservation effort must continue\, with large swaths of unprotected land in the Cascades at risk of industrial damage. \nThe program will conclude with Fenner sharing how we can take inspiration from NCCC’s early efforts and determination and suggest what we can do now to help protect these lands we love.

SUMMARY:Washington State's Endangered Tufted Puffins
DESCRIPTION:Washington State’s Endangered Tufted Puffins \nHosted by the North Cascades Institute \nInstructor: Amanda Colbert \nCost: $10 \nTo register for this event click here. \n“Tufted puffins are striking birds in the auk family\,” explains the UW’s Puget Sound Institute. “With their two congeners\, the horned and Atlantic puffin\, they are sometimes called sea parrots\, or the clowns of the sea. The sea clowns\, alas\, have become increasingly rare of late… all up and down the West Coast. In Washington\, tufted puffins were once common in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and along the outer coast\, with 25\,000 birds spread among 44 known breeding colonies in the early 1900s. Those numbers stayed stable for the next several decades; surveys in the 1970s and 1980s estimated more than 23\,000 birds bred at 35 known colonies. Then the bottom started to fall out. By 2009 biologists estimated that fewer than 3\,000 puffins bred in Washington\, and the number of known colonies had fallen to just 19. Counts since then have only gotten worse.” \nThe Salish Sea School is on a mission to help save Washington State’s endangered Tufted Puffin population. By empowering students to help with data collection at Smith Island (one of the last breeding colonies in the Salish Sea) and promoting stewardship through experiential marine conservation programs and public presentations\, the aim is to increase public awareness of this population and provide ways to help recover these imperiled seabirds. \nJoin us as we share the natural life history of the Tufted Puffin and discuss the state status of this iconic seabird. We’ll take you on a journey of discovery\, sharing what we have seen on the water and learned through our own observations over the last two seasons. We’ll also provide ways you can help these iconic seabirds!
