Landscaping for Wildlife
Russell Link

Russell Link is a wildlife biologist in the WA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife
(WDFW) North Puget Sound regional office in Mill Creek. A native of the San
Francisco Bay area, he studied forestry at the University of Montana and
earned a B.S. degree in landscape architecture from the University of
California at Davis. His graduate work is in terrestrial plant ecology. He
has owned a landscape contracting firm, a wholesale nursery, and an
environmental consulting business.

Mr. Link began work with WDFW 12 years ago, during which time he has also
taught in the horticulture program at Edmonds Community College as well as
wildlife-related courses through the University of WA.

Mr. Link has authored two books, Landscaping for Wildlife in the Pacific
Northwest and Living with Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest, both published
by the University of WA Press. He lives on Whidbey Island with his wife and
daughter.


WOS Programs are free and open to all. They are held the first Monday of
each month at the Center for Urban Horticulture on the University of
Washington campus, 3501 NE 41st St. in Seattle (directions below). Doors
open at 7:00 PM and the program begins at 7:30 PM.

Directions: From I-5, take SR 520 East. Take the Montlake Blvd. NE exit and
turn north towards the University of Washington campus. Stay in right lane
and go north on Montlake Blvd. over the bridge and past the stadium. The
road will curve to the right around the Montlake Fill and merge with NE 45th
St. You will quickly approach a five-way intersection. At the
intersection, turn right onto Mary Gates Memorial Drive. The Center for
Urban Horticulture is two long blocks down on the right. There is plenty of
free parking at the facility. We use the main meeting room, the backside of
which faces the road. Bus numbers 25, 65, and 75 all stop at NE 45th and
Mary Gates Memorial Drive.
