SUMMARY:SAS March 9th Program with Ashley Martens
DESCRIPTION:Old-Growth Forest Features and the Birds who Depend on Them\n\n\n\nAll forest stages have an important ecological role to play. The old-growth stage of a forest is especially important because of its structural and functional complexity. Micro habitats\, thick bark\, and standing dead trees provide food and shelter for many bird species. We’ll explore some old-growth forest features and some bird species that depend on them in Montana and the greater northwestern United States. Expect some hands-on learning. \n\n\n\nAbout Our Speaker\n\n\n\nEver since hand-feeding chickadees with her grandparents as a young child\, Ashley Martens has sought out intimate relationships with nature through both scientific inquiry and mindful nature-connection.  After meandering her way through studying the life sciences in her young adulthood\, she finally settled on a B.S. in Biology\, an M.S. in Environmental Science\, and certifications in teaching yoga\, dance\, and meditation. Becoming a naturalist takes time and attention. With experiences ranging from hunting arrowheads in the gullies of high-desert Wyoming as a child\, to surveying woodpeckers in the backwoods of north Idaho\, to researching seabirds on a remote wildlife refuge island in the Strait of Juan de Fuca\, to reintroducing Mountain Quail in eastern Washington\, Ashley weaves all of her experiences into her work. She brings her values of lifelong-learning and community-building forward in her teaching and facilitation.  Her approach is to empower your learning journey by guiding you to learn from nature\, rather than simply learning about it.  She now serves as the Intermountain West regional manager for the Old-Growth Forest Network.  \n\n\n\nPhoto courtesy of Ashley Martens\n\n\n\nFor virtual attendance\, please register at https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/2698835306866205785 Attendees\, whether in person or virtual\, are encouraged to share their bird sightings at this and every monthly program. SAS monthly programs are free and open to the public\, feather a special guest speaker the 2nd Monday of the mong\, September through May.
