SUMMARY:Heather Ecology & Restoration Efforts
DESCRIPTION:Join the Washington Native Plant Society (W.N.P.S.) to celebrate Native Plant Appreciation Month! Join W.N.P.S. for a free webinar on Heather Ecology and Restoration Efforts which will help us all learn more about restoration efforts in popular day-hike locations along the North Cascades Highway: \n“Heather Ecology and Restoration Efforts” with Kelly Baraibar\, USFS Biologist in the Methow Valley Ranger District. \nHeather provides some subalpine plant communities with the essential requirements to exist in harsh conditions. They form hardy mats which trap soil\, water and nutrients\, and provide protection for other plant species to establish. Yet it only takes about 20 footsteps to cause a heather mat to begin to die\, leading to the unraveling of the subalpine community in which it exists. Kelly will present the ecology of the heather species found in our area\, species distribution\, colonization strategies\, heather adaptations\, climate change\, and other fascinating facts. Her talk will also cover restoration efforts in popular day hike locations along the North Cascades Highway and challenges posed in the face of upward trends in the recreation. \nSpeaker Bio: \nKelly Baraibar\, U.S.F.S Botanist in Winthrop \nKelly is the District Botanist on the Methow Valley Ranger District in Winthrop.  Her career began with the Forest Service nearly 25 years ago as a wildland firefighter.  She spent the summer fighting fire while saving money to travel the world in the winter months.  When she grew weary of rappelling out of helicopters\, Kelly decided to hit the books and complete her degree at the University of Washington.  Kelly was the last graduating class at the U of W to earn a degree dedicated strictly to Botany.  Soon after graduation\, she was offered a permanent position on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.   Her first job as a permanent was spent between the Wenatchee River Ranger District and the Methow Valley Ranger District.  After a summer season\, she transferred to Okanogan to work with the Forest Service Ecology Program.  In 2010\, she accepted the District Botanist position on the Methow Valley R.D.  Kelly enjoys paddle boarding with her daughters down the Methow River in the summer\, and skiing as much as she can in the winter. \nHer evening talk is sponsored by our local Wenatchee Valley Chapter of the WNPS. \nThe hour-long webinar will occur on April 27 at 7pm; \nFree registration and for more information click here: https://www.wnps.org/wv-events/calendar/1010 \n

SUMMARY:Wolves in Washington: Updates from WDFW & the Wolf Advisory Group
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the North Cascades Institute \nClass Tuition: $15 \nAfter nearly being eradicated in the early 1900s\, the gray wolf (Canis lupus)\, a native Washington species\, has naturally returned to the state. A wolf pack with pups was confirmed in July 2008 in western Okanogan and northern Chelan counties and represented the first fully documented breeding by wolves in the state since the 1930s! Since then\, the state’s wolf population has increased at an average rate of 28% every year\, and many other wolf packs have been confirmed. \nThe first to return to Washington came on their own from existing packs in Idaho\, Montana\, Wyoming\, Oregon\, and British Columbia. Although there have been no federal or state efforts to proactively reintroduce wolves to Washington\, they have successfully repopulated parts of eastern Washington and the North Cascades. \nAccording to Conservation Northwest\, at the end of 2018\, Washington was home to a minimum of 126 wolves\, 27 wolf packs and 15 successful breeding pairs! \nJoin us for a Zoom presentation with biologists from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. They will share an overview of the status of wolves in the state\, provide updates on current wolf packs and take questions too. \nParticipants will learn how they can stay updated\, get involved\, and how the Washington Wolf Advisory Group is working to promote equitable\, inclusive\, and respectful dialogue and decision-making among diverse people to foster durable peace by transforming the root causes of social conflict and providing high quality recommendations on wolf recovery\, conservation\, and management. \nIf you can’t make this specific date or time\, you can still register and we will send you a link to view the class on your own time! All registrants will have access to the class recording for a limited time after the program. \nFor more information click here.
