Butterflies as Storytellers

Butterflies as Storytellers!

Come join us for a lecture from UWB Professor Dr. Amy Lambert.

Join Dr. Amy Lambert in a lecture style discussion on the varied characteristics of butterflies, ecological importance of butterflies, types of butterflies in the area, and vital connection between forest health and butterfly conservation.

Dr. Amy Lambert is an Associate Teaching Professor at the University of Washington Bothell. She teaches a variety of courses from Restoration Ecology to Pollinator Diversity and Conservation. Her research focuses on species-level ecology (rare butterflies and pollinators), plant community restoration and the political and philosophical barriers that limit the study and preservation of imperiled species. She founded the CCUWBee Research Initiative in 2012 in an effort to involve students and members of the public in research projects that inform pollinator conservation. Over the years, the CCUWBee Research Initiative has created an invaluable baseline measure of pollinator diversity on campus that will inform climate change studies in the future.

Event is geared towords teachers, adults, and older childeren (age 12+). It will have interact elements but largely will be a lecture style event geared toward an older audience.
