Laughing Whitefish Audubon program
April 8, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Presented by: Laurel Hill, 2014 LWAS Avaian Research Award recipient
Laurel will discuss her research into changes in the habitat of the Yellow Dog Plains and her investigation of how these changes affect the spruce grouse population there. She will compare data collected during the summers of 2013 and 2014 to information collected in the 1980s by Professor Bill Robinson. In the last three decades the Yellow Dog Plains have seen new roads and trails, timber harvests and the development of the Eagle Mine. Assessment of the impact of these changes on the spruce grouse population is crucial information to help manage future development in the area.
Laughing Whitefish Audubon programs are held in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library beginning at 7:00 p.m. The library is located at 217 N. Front Street in Marquette.
