Optimist Meeting - Tuesday, December 6th


Greetings!

Wildlife Biologist Jim Holyan of the Nez Perce Tribe's Wolf Project will address our meeting this week, and he's sure to be very interesting and a wealth of information.  Mr. Holyan obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife and Wildland Recreation Management from Washington State University in 1986.  He has worked for various agencies focussing on a variety of species, including: 
  • Northern Spotted Owls (U S Forest Service, Washington Dept. of Natural Resources, Humbolt State University)
  • Elk (Mount Ranier National Park)
  • Arctic Flora and Fauna (U S Fish & Wildlife Service, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge)
  • Wolves (U S Fish & Wildlife Service, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge)
  • Pine Martens (U S Forest Service, Olympia Forestry Sciences Laboratory)

Jim has been employed with the Nez Perce Tribe since 1997.  He has observed wolves and documented packs' reproductive statuses during his field seasons, while his non-field seasons involved the more tedious processes of analyzing and making sense of the data he's collected.

I hope you'll plan to attend this week's meeting - Tuesday, December 6th, 7:00 am at the Pancake House.

See you Tuesday!

Jim
