Last Updated: March 7, 2024

IMPORTANT CHANGE OF PLANS: Our scheduled speaker for next Tuesday, March 12th, River Gates from the National Audubon Society, has become ill and will not be able to do her Zoom presentation on Pacific Flyway Conservation. In its place, we will host a live, face-to-face presentation by John Farnsworth on “Bird Conservation in the North Coast Ecoregion” This will be held at the Padilla Bay Interpretive Center located at 10441 Bayview-Edison Rd., Mt. Vernon, at 7:00 pm and will not be available on Zoom.

John S. Farnsworth, PhD, is serving a three-year term on the WDFW Wildlife Diversity Advisory Council, where he co-chairs the committee on the State Wildlife Action Plan. He is Senior Lecturer in Environmental Studies and Sciences, Emeritus, at Santa Clara University, where his research centers on literary natural history. He has a forthcoming book called Reading Nature: The Evolution of American Nature Writing. He has been a member of the Skagit Audubon Board of Directors for the past three years, and is serving this year as chair of the Program Committee. 

We are hoping to reschedule River’s presentation in the near future.
