The Whatcom County Historical Society presents local author Michael Impero for a presentation about Camp Glacier F-12, a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps, established during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency in the 1930s. One of Roosevelt’s political campaign promises was to draft major legislation to get the economy of the United States back in a positive position. The goals of the two-part program were to refurbish the timberlands and farmlands of the country, and to put unemployed young people to work. On a napkin, he created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). One result was the establishment of Camp Glacier F-12 in Whatcom County, Wash. The camp was established between Maple Falls and Glacier, just east of Boulder Creek on the Mount Baker Highway. In a short period of time, there were 200 enrollees stationed at the camp, with the Whatcom County quota of 150 first to arrive. The camp operated from 1933 to its abandonment in 1941.

Join the North Cascades Audubon Society and the Whatcom Museum for “Bird Watching the Easy Way: Tracking Seabirds in the Pacific Ocean, with Jonathan Felis, from the USGS Western Ecological Research Center. Seabirds have been historically difficult for researchers to study in the marine realm, given the relative inaccessibility of their vast oceanic habitats. More recently, rapid advances in bio-logging technologies have made it possible to track and study the movements of seabirds in unparalleled ways, from mapping trans-equatorial migration routes to revealing previously unknown breeding locations. In this presentation, Jonathan Felis, USGS Western Ecological Research Center, will discuss examples of recent research tracking Pacific Ocean seabirds and some of the conservation and management implications of those studies.
