SUMMARY:Early Morning Birding
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to spend a weekday morning hiking\, viewing wildlife\, wildflowers\, and snow-capped mountains\, while being part of a small team collecting bird species data?  Community Science Projects are collaborations between scientists and volunteers that expand opportunities for scientific data collection and help answer real-world questions. Learn more about becoming a CDLT citizen scientist volunteer by contacting Conservation Fellow\, Susan Ballinger at susan@cdlandtrust.org or call 509-667-9708. Please note contact Susan by cell phone 24-hours ahead (509-669-7820) to confirm\, because changing weather conditions can result in cancelling the route. \nCDLT is recruiting volunteers to help with two once/month bird monitoring projects. \n\nMountain Home Preserve eBird Monitoring Project\, prior  and after forest health thinning projects designed to restore open ponderosa-pine forest and to reduce future wildfire risks.  Meeting at the Safeway store in Leavenworth\, or Susan will pick up carpoolers in Wenatchee at the Penny Road Park and Ride. We walk a 2.2-mile route\, stopping at 5 points to conduct 10-minute counts. 2022 Dates:  March 28 (7:00am-11am)\, April 20 (6:00am-10:00am)\, May 11 (6:00am-10am)\, June 8 (6:00am-10:00am).  July-October dates To Be Determined.\nIndependent volunteers are invited to do the CDLT eBird monitoring project  at Horse Lake Preserve\, and then share data with CDLT.  Contact Susan Ballinger (susan@cdlandtrust.org) to learn more.  The project goal is to learn about bird use with a variety of habitats that included areas burned in 2012 and 2015 wildfires.

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.
