Join us at The Whale Museum on Aug. 24 at 7 p.m. for a wildlife lecture presented by Shona Aitken, Education Coordinator at Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehab Center. The talk is FREE and open to the public.

We enjoy seeing the many wild creatures that live on the San Juan Islands, but human interactions with wildlife on the islands are not always harmonious. They can cause problems for us, and our activities can have major impacts on these wild animals.

This presentation will explore the ways we can reduce some of these issues and live more harmoniously with our wild neighbors.

Shona Aitken is the Education Coordinator at Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, where she has worked in Education and Rehabilitation roles since 1990. She has a degree in Biology/Ecology from the University of Stirling in Scotland and work experience as an Environmental Educator, Research Assistant and Countryside Ranger in Scotland and Sweden, before moving to the US.
