What is biodiversity, and what creates it? What defines the ecosystems ranging from saltwater marshes to alpine tundra, and what species inhabit these areas? Join the Seattle Naturalists for an engaging virtual exploration of Washington's diverse ecosystems, led by the Washington Natural Heritage Program Manager, Joe Rocchio.
Joe Rocchio will showcase the amazing variety of Washington's landscapes and the species associated with them. Think of this event as a sightseeing tour that you can enjoy from your armchair, while learning about the critical conservation research associated with these natural areas. It's free, and you can join the trek as part of the Seattle Naturalist Lecture Series.
Some of these ecosystems you may be familiar with, others may be entirely new to you. Joe has visited all of these ecosystems and has excellent photographs to share. At the end of the talk, you'll feel like you've visited these ecosystems yourself!
