We are delighted to host Steven Clark who will be speaking to us about the evolutionary processes that led to the birds we love!

Throughout his career, he shared his passion for teaching to students from kindergarten through college. He has degrees in psychology, religion, Deaf education, and environmental science. Steven researched the endangered western pond turtle in the Columbia Gorge. Since 2010, he has participated in research led by preeminent pika scientist, Dr. Erik Beever, and helps lead Oregon Zoo’s Cascade Pika Watch. Steven is Vice President of the Washington Native Plant Society, and he loves his volunteer work with University of Washington Rare Plant Care.
