Conservation Lecture Series
The Sequoia Park Zoo and Foundation are pleased to announce our first Conservation Lecture Series. The evening lectures will be held in the Zoo classroom each month, starting in November and running through March 2012. Talks will be on a variety of conservation topics, including the use of non-invasive tools in wildlife research, the protection and management of endangered species, and disease ecology. A reception will be held half an hour before commencement of each lecture. All talks start at 7:00pm and are free to attend.
Final Series Lecture: Wednesday, March 7th, 2012: Lowell Diller
A Tale of Two Owls: New Challenges in Spotted Owl Conservation
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.
