At the next Wildlife Wednesday talk on Nov. 1, restoration biologist John Hudson will answer the question, “What’s so Special About the Riparian Zone?”<\/p>\n
The riparian zone — the area around a river — is neither upland or wetland. It blends aquatic and terrestrial habitats to form a unique ecosystem that’s important to wildlife.<\/p>\n
Wildlife Wednesdays take place on the first Wednesday of every month from now until March at 7-8 p.m.<\/p>\n
Nov. 1 and Dec. 6, presentations will take place at the Mendenhall Valley Public Library. After that, presentations on Jan. 3, Feb. 7 and March 7 will take place at the Egan Lecture Hall at the University of Alaska Southeast.<\/p>\n
The talks, put on by the Southeast Chapter of the Alaska Wildlife Alliance, are free and open to the public. Refreshments are served.<\/p>\n
On Dec. 6, local photographer and scuba diver Art Sutch will discuss “Photography of Sea Creatures.”<\/p>\n
On Jan. 3, Jim Adams, the Alaska Regional Director of National Parks Conservation Association, will give a talk called “U.S. Park Service.”<\/p>\n
On Feb. 7, naturalist, researcher and author Richard Carstensen will present “Wildlife and Wild Lands: New Views.”<\/p>\n
On March 7, in the last Wildlife Wednesday presentation for the year, Link Olson, a curator of mammals and professor of biology at the University of Alaska museum, will present a talk titled “Alaska’s Mysterious Marmots in a Time of Change.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
