Don’t miss our meeting on January 31, 2013 (a week later than usual) at 6:45 at the University Place library. Thanks to Kay Pullen for arranging this great program:

Clay Sprague and Peter Harrison of the DNR will be on hand to discuss: “The biology of the Marbled Murrelet and conservation on DNR Managed Forest Lands.”

“Our plan is to discuss the overall biology of the marbled murrelet (MM)and how the department of natural resources (DNR) has and is addressing this threatened bird in its management of forest land in Western Washington. I’m seeing three parts to the presentation; 1) Broad overview of the DNR, its mission and responsibilities; 2) the biology of the MM; and 3) DNR’s Habitat Conservation Plan that addresses MM conservation on state trust lands.
