To the FWGNA group,
I'm pleased to report that The
Xerces Society has organized a workshop on the freshwater
gastropods of the Pacific Northwest at the University of Montana,
Missoula, coming up right around the corner May 11 - 14. The
leader will be yours truly!
See their website
for further details.
Jeff Adams of The Xerces Society really twisted my arm to become
involved with this workshop. I think the idea is a great one, but
I personally have zero field experience in that part of the
world. I'm hoping that the participants will bring lots of
specimens, locality data, and field observations with them to
Missoula. Perhaps we can learn something together.
The registration fee is just $100, and will include an identification
manual currently under development. I'd encourage any of you
interested in northwestern freshwater gastropods to consider attending.
And I'll see you in May!
Rob
