In the last talk of the series, Lowell Diller, a Senior Biologist for Green Diamond Resource Co., will provide a brief overview of the history of conservation of the Northern spotted owl, with most of the focus on the current Barred owl threat. He'll look at how the Barred owl got here, how it interacts with the spotted owl, and what measures are being considered to address the threat.
On March 6, the Obama administration will announce its plan to save the Northern spotted owl by moving forward with a plan to shoot barred owls. Join us the following evening to learn more about Spotted owl conservation and have your questions answered.
