Great Blue Herons on March Point
Skagit Land Trust Stewardship Director Michael Kirshenbaum will talk and lead a discussion about the March's Point Heronry, one of the largest Great Blue heronries on the west coast. With over 400 nests on site, the heronry provides critical habitat for this iconic Northwest bird. Michael will talk about how this special place was protected through citizen-lead conservation efforts, ongoing efforts to monitor the heronry and the long-term collaborative relationship between the land trust and the Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve to educate the public about the heronry. Saturday, March 24, 1:00-2:00
