Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop is pleased to announce the next In Their Footsteps: Currents of Change free speaker series event.  This program is Wildlife Center of the North Coast presented by Sharnelle Fee on Sunday, October 15, at 1:00 p.m.

Since Sharnelle founded the Wildlife Center of the North Coast eight years ago, people who find injured wildlife in the area have had a helpful resource to turn to.  The center aids all indigenous wildlife and provides offsite education programs.  The center is currently in the process of planning, designing and building a new wildlife hospital.

Sharnelle has 17 years of wildlife rehabilitation experience.  She will bring some of the center’s education animals to the program such as an owl, a merlin, a northern fulmar, and pelicans.  Her program will cover some of the dangers that wildlife face in this area, the work of the Wildlife Center of the North Coast and how people can help local wildlife.

This third Sunday forum is sponsored by the Fort Clatsop Historical Association and the park.  These programs are held in the Netul River Room of Fort Clatsop’s visitor center and are free of charge.

For more information, call the park at [phone].
