SUMMARY:Life with the Trees: Western Gray Squirrel Conservation
DESCRIPTION:A powerful talk on Western Gray Squirrel\, one of Washington’s cutest yet imperiled native rodents.\n\nOnly three populations of these squirrels remain\, and the largest of them is right here in Klickitat County. Discover what makes this small but mighty species vital to our forest ecosystems\, and why it was uplisted from “threatened” to “endangered” in Washington State. We’ll explore the dramatic population decline in Klickitat County over the past 25 years and unpack the factors behind it.\n\nWhether you are curious about local wildlife\, a concerned resident\, or someone who believes in the power of grassroots conservation\, we hope you’ll leave inspired to share what you learned. We’ll dig into how you can become part of Friends of the White Salmon River’s effort to protect Western Gray Squirrel habitat in Klickitat County by monitoring Forest Practice Applications.\n\n\nSpeaker Bios:\n\n\nBill Weiler served as a Wildlife Biologist with the Washington and Oregon Departments of Fish & Wildlife for 20 years\, where he specialized in Western Gray Squirrel and spotted owl conservation.

Bill lives on 20 acres of oak woodland northeast of Lyle\, WA. He is the Board Chair of Friends of the White Salmon River.\n\nPat Arnold has been part of volunteer environmental activism since she was born.
