DESCRIPTION:Join Wenatchee Outdoors Executive Director Sarah Shaffer to view the fundamentals of how to rock climb! Whether you have never climbed in your life\, or have tried it a time or two inside\, let’s get down some basics on how to “clean” a route when outside now that the weather is warming up along with discuss “lead” climbing and how to accomplish this outdoors. We can also gain basic knowledge for knots used for climbing and have some more advanced classes down the road for other knot options. At a later date we can take a field trip! Please RSVP below so we can plan accordingly. Location is Riverfront Rock Gym (a separate waiver will need to be filled out per person at the climbing gym before doing the walk through of the gym).

Update-Online DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted by the North Cascades Institute \nClass Tuition: $10 \nWolves are a keystone predator that plays a valuable and important role in the health of our ecosystems. After nearly being eradicated in the early 1900s\, the gray wolf (Canis lupus)\, a native Washington species\, has naturally returned to our 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 around 23% every year – 5% in 2022 – and many other wolf packs have been confirmed. \nIn the latest annual census of wolves in Washington State\, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) reports the following good news for wolf recovery: \n\nWashington has a minimum of 216 wolves in the state at the end of 2022\, compared to 209 in 2021\, and 26 breeding pairs in 2022\, compared to 19 in 2021.\nEight new wolf packs were formed\, including four new packs in the North Cascades.\nThere have been greater than four successful breeding pairs in the North Cascades recovery region for three years in a row\, which is an important step toward meeting recovery goals.\nThe Big Muddy pack was the first to establish in the South Cascades.\n\nJoin us for a Zoom presentation with biologists from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Wolf Advisory Group. 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 the specific date or time of a class you want to take\, you can still register and we will send you a link to view the program on your own time! All registrants will have access to the class recording for a limited time to re-watch too. \nFor more information or to register click here.  URL:https://wenatcheeoutdoors.org/event/wolves-in-w-a-update-online/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wenatcheeoutdoors.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Wolves-e1707170217697.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240427T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240427T235959 DTSTAMP:20260426T034731 CREATED:20240325T175746Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240325T175746Z UID:10001709-1714176000-1714262399@wenatcheeoutdoors.org SUMMARY:Birds Up Close: Ornithology Weekend DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 27\, 9:00am-4:00pm & Sunday\, April 28\, 6:00am-12:00pm\nWenatchee River Institute – 347 Division St.\, Leavenworth\, WA 98826\nGet to know birds like never before in this weekend-long exploration with ornithologist\, Suzanne Tomassi. You’ll get the chance to see live\, wild birds up-close! \nIf you have an interest in birds and want to know more about the science behind them\, this course is for you. A large component of the weekend will be focused on field methods and putting them into practice during a day of netting\, measuring\, and releasing passerines (songbirds). No prior experience is necessary. This course has been updated to expand on the most fascinating characteristics of birds\, and will emphasize field techniques and an in-depth firsthand account of the instructor’s avian research in Borneo. \nCourse Structure:\nDay 1: 9:00am-4:00pm\nThe morning will be lecture format with slides\, video\, and real examples of feathers\, skulls\, and nests to observe. We’ll go through an overview of bird biology\, touching on evolutionary history\, anatomy and physiology\, behavior\, and more. After a quick lunch break\, we’ll go over field methods for netting birds and discuss some of the gear involved\, and go outside to practice setting up the equipment. We’ll hear how our instructor used these field methods in her 10-year field study in Borneo\, and see some beautiful photos of the amazing birds she got to work with. \nDay 2: 6:00am-12:00pm\nOur second day starts early! We’ll set up mist-nets to trap and measure birds using the techniques we learned about on Day 1. With a little luck\, we’ll catch some birds and participants will be able to take photos and learn to handle a bird in a “ringer’s grip\,” before releasing them back into the wild. In the late morning\, we’ll take down the nets and wrap up with a brief discussion on how to attract the birds we’ve seen to backyards. \nBoth days of the course are question-driven\, meaning that participants should speak up at any time with questions and interests on expanding a topic. Suzanne is happy to adjust course content to meet interests. \nCapacity: 15 people \nCost: $75 members\, $90 non-members\nAt checkout\, members use code: ilovebirds\nNot a member?
