SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:For Methow-based supporters of conservation and those who can’t make this special presentation on March 11th in the Okanogan Valley\, Okanogan Land Trust is crossing over the mountains to present this three-part talk by speakers Julie Vanderwal\, Josh Wozniak and Dana Visalli. Come hear this expansive educational talk at the Methow Valley interpretive Center in Twisp\, WA\, happening on Sunday\, March 29th. We invite you to wrap yourself into the folds of our latest conservation campaign: For the Fen! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEver wondered what the difference between a bog and a fen is? Or how peat forms? Or what the story of that broad\, flat valley south of Bonaparte Lake might be? If so\, this presentation is for you! \n\n\n\nJoin Okanogan Land Trust for this highlighted event and learn all about our newest community conservation initiative: the campaign to buy\, protect\, and restore Bonaparte Meadows.   \n\n\n\nCalcareous fens are one of the rarest wetland types in the United States\, and the Okanogan Highlands are home to several of these unique places. This talk — by not one but three local experts —  explores the geology\, botany\, and human history of Bonaparte Meadows\, the largest calcarious fen in our region (that we know of!). Although impacted by human and natural disturbance\, this remarkable place still holds extraordinary benefits for rare plant life\, for wildlife\, and the surrounding landscape\, as well as tremendous potential for restoration. \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nJulie Vanderwal is a Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner. \n\n\n\nJosh Wozniak is a professional wetland biologist with over 25 years experience delineating wetlands in the Puget Sound region and throughout the western US. \n\n\n\nDana Visalli is a botanist and editor of the Methow Naturalist. \n\n\n\nLearn more here: okanoganlandtrust.org/Bonaparte \n\n\n\nVisit and Support the Methow Valley Interpretive Center

SUMMARY:Life in a Peat Wetland: Bonaparte Meadows - OkaKnowledgy Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:ELife in a Peat Wetland: Bonaparte Meadows – A Very Special OkaKnowledgy Eventver wondered what the difference between a bog and a fen is? What lives in a fen? Or how peat forms? If you have — or you do now — then this presentation is for you! \nCalcarious or alkaline fens are an extremely rare habitat type in Washington State\, and the Okanogan Highlands are home to three of them. This talk by three experts in botany\, wetland ecology\, and ecological restoration\, explores the geology\, botany\, and human history of Bonaparte Meadows\, the largest calcarious fen in our region (that we know of!). Although impacted by a history of human disturbance\, this remarkable place still holds extraordinary benefits for rare plantlife\, for wildlife\, and the surrounding landscape\, as well as tremendous potential for restoration. \nJoin us for this important event! The greater work of this project will be covered\, as well as the ways you can participate. We will have related future events to get you on the land with us\, so stay close! \nCome learn about this rare and special place and the current efforts to protect it!  \n \nJulie Vanderwal is a Certified Ecological Restoration Planner based in Twisp \nJosh Wozniak is a professional wetland biologist with over 25 years experience delineating wetlands in the Puget Sound region and throughout the western US. \nDana Visalli is a botanist and editor of the Methow Naturalist. \n

SUMMARY:Getting Squirrely With It: With Matt Danielson - OkaKnowledgy Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Local wildlife biologist Matt Danielson will present the biology and natural history of western gray squirrels in the Pacific Northwest. The presentation will share how to identify western gray squirrels from other tree squirrels in Washington\, and introduce forest management strategies to create and maintain western gray squirrel habitat in Okanogan County.\n\n\nFrom Baja Mexico to Okanogan County\, western gray squirrels rely on rich\, productive forests in dry climates. They depend on acorns from oak trees across their entire range – except in Okanogan County! You are invited to learn what makes Okanogan County a unique and important place for this endangered species.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew was born and raised in Omak\, Washington and continues to work and live there because “it is a microcosm of the American West – the Columbia basin desert meets the North Cascade and Rocky Mountain forests to provide some of the widest ranging habitats on earth!” Danielson received a B.S. in Environmental Science from Western Washington University and spent his college summers working on wildlife survey\, timber marking\, and wildfire suppression crews for the U.S. Forest Service.\n\nAfter graduating\, he ran around the Inland Northwest supporting different carnivore research projects before finding permanent work for Department of Natural Resources as a timber sale biologist in Washington’s lynx habitat for several years. Matthew is excited to apply his experiences with local communities\, wildlife\, and forestry to fulfill Conservation Northwest’s mission in this region. During his free time\, Danielson birdwatches\, hunts\, and fishes\, while trying to balance or incorporate biking\, skiing\, and kayaking. He lives with his wife\, their cat\, and a community of native birds and insects he tries to support through gardening.\n\nCome learn all about these great little forest friends – and get squirrley with us!!\n\nWarm refreshments and sweet treats served.  And a Small Bills Raffle could win you some OLT Gear!

SUMMARY:FISH WARS with Kestrel Smith - Okaknowledgy Series Event
DESCRIPTION:In the 1960s and 70s\, tribes throughout the Pacific Northwest launched protests and acts of civil disobedience to pressure the government to recognize their fishing rights. Now known as the “Fish Wars\,” the lessons from these events remain relevant today.   \nIn this talk\, professor Kestrel A. Smith surveys the evidence and events before and after the Fish Wars\, which rocked Washington State for decades. Encompassing tribal sovereignty\, treaties\, statehood\, and the fish themselves\, the Fish Wars are a powerful reminder of our interconnectedness. Understanding these events is a first\, and essential\, step in achieving social\, cultural\, and political justice.   \nOkanogan Land Trust has partnered with Humanities Washington to present this information to the public. \nRead more: https://www.humanities.org/speaker/kestral-smith/ \n
