Lecture: Wolf Conservation And Citizen Science In Washington State November 3, 2010

Professional wildlife tracker David Moskowitz talks about the historical presence and ecological role of wolves in Washington State, the reestablishment of the species in the region, and how citizen scientists (including Edmonds Community College service-learning students) have helped document the presence and distribution of wolves and other rare carnivores across the state.

Moskowitz, a wildlife tracker, photographer, and outdoor educator, has contributed to wildlife studies regionally and in the Canadian and U.S. Rocky mountains. He helped establish the Cascade Citizens Wildlife Monitoring Project, a citizen science effort that monitors rare and sensitive wildlife in the Northwest wildlands. He has also trained mountaineering instructors for Outward Bound and is the lead instructor for wildlife tracking programs at Wilderness Awareness School in Duvall, Washington.
