SUMMARY:North American Rainforest Caribou to Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:the North American rainforest caribou to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge \nIn WRI’s Red Barn on Wednesday\, January 25th\, wildlife expert\, author\, photographer\, and tracker David Moskowitz shares from his book Caribou Rainforest: From Heartbreak to Hope. In a North American rainforest that few people know exists\, about a dozen dwindling herds of mountain caribou are struggling to survive –in the US herd\, fewer than twenty of these shy animals remain. \nThis iconic ungulate\, identified as an “umbrella species” by conservationists (protecting their habitat contributes to the preservation of a variety of species sharing the same delicate ecosystem) are some of the last of the great caribou herds that once roamed throughout the northern US. Moskowitz’ book provides examples of shifting challenges and tactics for wildlife and mountain caribou conservation in the twenty-first century. While the topics are at times wrenching and even contentious\, Moskowitz tells us that opportunities to engage effective solutions still exist. In Caribou Rainforest\, the author searches for lessons that can turn despair into hope and stories that can become the inspiration for committed change. \nThe author of three books\, David Moskowitz has contributed his technical expertise focusing on tracking and other non-invasive methods to study wildlife ecology\, to a wide variety of regional studies\, as well as in the Canadian and US Rocky Mountains. To promote conservation\, he helped establish the Cascade Citizen Wildlife Monitoring Project\, a citizen science effort to search for\, and monitor\, rare and sensitive wildlife in the Cascades and other Northwest wildlands. \n“Dave is an adventurer with a heart connected to all things wild\, so when he is presenting he takes you on a kind of thoughtful journey\, leaving your spirit brightened by the beauty in his photographs\, joyful from the comedy in his stories\, and satiated with his insights in natural history.” —Erik Kingfisher\, Jefferson Land Trust\, Port Townsend\, WA \nDoors open at 6:30PM with presentations beginning at 7PM. Admission is by donation. \nWenatchee River Institute\, 347 Division Street in Leavenworth. www.wenatcheeriverinstitute.org

SUMMARY:Supervolcanoes in the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet at 7:00 P.M.\, Tuesday\, February 12 at the Wenatchee Valley Museum\, 127 South Mission\, Wenatchee. \nOur speaker is Nick Zentner\, the animated and gifted teacher/geologist from CWU. His topic:\n\nSupervolcanoes in the Pacific Northwest \nWhy is there 30 feet of volcanic ash south of Vantage\, Washington? \nFor years\, geologists thought the tephra must have come from a big eruption in the Cascades. New data from the ash bed confirms that a supervolcano in southern Idaho erupted 11.8 million years ago and sent ash to Washington and Nebraska simultaneously! \nCheck out Nick’s website\, http://www.nickzentner.com\, with links to his lectures\, his 2-Minutes Geology\, Roadside Geology\, and PBS videos. And now he has a podcast! “The Nick Zentner Geology Podcast.” \nThe program is free & open to the public. \nFor overviews of the Ice Age Floods and more information on the Ice Age Floods Institute\, please see our website: http://www.iafi.org; http://www.hugefloods.com; and quadricopter videos of Ice Age features\, http://www.brucebjornstad.com.\n——— \n­Contact information: \nBrent Cunderla\, Chapter President\ncunderla@nwi.net\n509-662-4419

SUMMARY:Rock Glaciers of the Eastern Cascades
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Event at the Wenatchee River Institute\, Wednesday\, Feb. 13th \nRock Glaciers of the Eastern Cascades\, Professor Karl Lillquist\, 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\, Feb. 13th. Doors open at 6:30PM for community social with presentation beginning at 7PM. \nWhen we think of the Cascade Mountain Range\, glaciers often come to mind. In fact\, author and prolific climber Fred Beckey’s classic book is aptly titled Range of Glaciers. However\, rock glaciers have not claimed the same amount of fame. These glaciers elongate to broad deposits of rock and ice which\, show evidence of movement away from steep slopes in mountainous terrain. Traditionally\, Rock glaciers were considered key landforms and climate indicators of more continental mountain ranges\, where snowfall and winter temperatures are lower than their marine counterparts. Little attention was had been 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\, as he grew 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 Icesheet\,” tells Lillquist. \nLillquist teaches physical geography\, geomorphology\, soils\, snow\, airphoto analysis\, field methods\, mountain environments\, arid lands\, and graduate research.

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
