The program begins at 7pm on Friday, March 28 at the Catlin Senior Center in Kelso, at 106 Eighth Ave, (just east of JoAnn’s Fabric Store), and just north of Ocean Beach Highway. It features Allison Anholt and her talk, “Snowy Plovers in the Pacific Northwest: On the Road to Recovery.”
She is currently the lead conservation biologist for Washington State’s Department of Fish and Wildlife. The subject should hold high interest for our chapter as many of us have worked on SNPL conservation at the coast in year’s past.
WHAS is delighted to host Allison Anholt, whose role with WDFW is to conserve nongame waterbirds across the entire state. She holds a master’s degree from Rutgers University, where she studied piping plovers. Her professional experience ranges across the USA, conserving at-risk coastal birds from coastal New Jersey to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in Mississippi, the Florida Everglades to the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, and many places in between.
