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:
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
