Doors open 6:00pm (please arrive before 6:45 for food purchase) The Worlds of David Douglas with Jack Nisbet During his short but intense life, Scottish Naturalist David Douglas demonstrated a knack for appearing in places on the brink of extraordinary change. His writings and natural history collections reflect on these situations in ways he never could have imagined, and deepen his legacy in the Northwest. This presentation, with author and historian Jack Nisbet, will explore the circle of British scientists that provided the background data for Darwin's theory of evolution; the tribal and fur trade communities that set the tone for much of modern Inland Northwest culture; and differences between the flora and fauna that Douglas recorded and what we experience today. Nisbet's books will be sold and signed. The event is free and open to everyone though donations are appreciated. For more information, contact Mary at 996-2870 or info@methowconservancy.org.

Methow Conservancy prsents the March "1st Tuesday" program at the Pub
Saving Frogs
Frog populations have been disappearing worldwide at unprecedented rates. Threats to amphibians include pollution, infectious diseases, habitat loss, invasive species, climate change and over-harvesting. Dr. Kerry Kriger will introduce you to the wide world of frogs with incredible photos from around the world, and discuss what needs to be done to prevent further amphibian declines and extinctions.
Dr. Kriger is coming to the Methow Valley from Virginia for public school programs and this "1st Tuesday" lecture with the help of the Public School Funding Alliance. He is the Founder and Executive Director of Save the Frogs! (www.savethefrogs.com), a nonprofit organization dedicated to amphibian conservation. He is a recognized expert on chytridiomycosis, an infectious disease that has driven at least 100 amphibian species to extinction. His research has been supported by the National Geographic Society and various philanthropic organizations throughout the world. The Pub will open at 6:00pm for attendees who would like to purchase food or drinks.
The event is free and open to everyone. For more information, contact Mary at 996-2870 or info@methowconservancy.org.
