Wolf Hollow, Whale Museum Team Up for Wild San Juan Lecture

Thursday, April 18, 5 p.m., Whale Museum

— from Tracie Merrill for The Whale Museum —

The Whale Museum is joining forces with Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center to host a “Wild San Juan” talk on April 18 entitled “Hawks & Herons…Cats & Cars: Living with Wildlife in the San Juan Islands.”

The talk will take place on April 18 at 5 p.m. at The Whale Museum. It will be preceded by an informal reception with refreshments at 4:00 p.m. Join staff from Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and The Whale Museum to understand more about human/wildlife issues, to discuss wildlife problems you may have encountered and to consider ways we can reduce these issues, so we can live more harmoniously together.

Part of the beauty of living on the San Juans is the abundant wildlife, but this can also be part of the challenge. Heron flying over or otters diving in the bay are not just scenery. They are working hard to make a living and raise their kids. Their quest for food and shelter can bring them into conflict with the human inhabitants of our island home and our activities can have major impacts on their lives. Through becoming more aware of the impacts of our actions, visitors and residents of San Juan Island can learn to be better stewards of the wildlife that share their home with us.

This evening is free and open to the public. For more information, call (360) 378-4710 ext. 30 or email info@whalemuseum.org.  The Whale Museum is located in Friday Harbor at 62 First St. N.
