The Weminuche Audubon Society is pleased to present Doug Clark, wildlife biologist with the Rio Grande National Forest.
The public is invited to attend the meeting this Wednesday, March 27, at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis Street, beginning with a social gathering at 6pm. The meeting will start at 6:30pm.
Please enter through the side door off the parking lot, or let us know to open the main door for handicap entry. In appreciation for our meeting space, the Society welcomes donations of nonperishable food for the church food bank.
Clark’s career as a biological technician and now wildlife biologist, with the U.S. Forest Service has spanned more than 30 years. He currently works out of Del Norte, but past projects have found him working in Alaska, Colorado and South Dakota in a variety of wildlife surveys including Canada lynx, wolves, bats, birds and black-footed ferrets, to name a few.
The goal of a wildlife biologist on the national forest is to ensure diverse and sustainable populations of the native plants and animals that call the forest home. In this role, Clark provides guidance for interdisciplinary projects such as timber, recreation and fuels treatments that occur on the forest. He will talk about his work to protect some of the species of conservation concern, threatened and endangered species, and birds of conservation concern that can be found in the Rio Grande National Forest.
Prior to the meeting, a link to join on Zoom will be posted on the Society’s website, http://weminucheaudubon.org, for those unable to attend in person.
