"Magical, Menacing, and Magnificent Wildlife"- biology lecture set for Jan. 13

From the Mt. Adams institute:

Biologist Bill Weiler

Join Mt. Adams Institute for a virtual Sense of Place event, Magical, Menacing, and Magnificent Wildlife: How to Ensure Their Future in the Gorge, January 13, 2021, at 7 p.m. on ZOOM featuring biologist Bill Weiler.

The Columbia River is home to some incredible wildlife species; some are unknown to many, while others may be common, with surprisingly fascinating stories. This upcoming Sense of Place lecture will dive into these creatures that share our home and why some are considered magnificent, while others are feared or even misunderstood. Wildlife biologist and longtime Gorge resident, Bill Weiler, will highlight some of our local fauna and share some hopeful scenarios about how we can keep wildlife thriving throughout the Gorge, especially if we all contribute.

Bill Weiler worked as a wildlife biologist with both the Washington and Oregon Departments of Fish & Wildlife. Bill created the environmental education non-profit Columbia Gorge Ecology Institute in Hood River 25 years ago, and he currently works as the education coordinator for the Sandy River Watershed Council.
