| Event Description | Dr. Lynne Trulio will present a workshop on the ecology and conservation of the western burrowing owl, (Athene cunicularia hypugaea). Her research in the South San Francisco Bay region has focused on the ecology and recovery of this species. Dr. Trulio is a researcher and professor at San Jose State University and has published numerous papers on the effects of human impact on the species, as well as the general ecology and management for the species.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the natural history, habitat needs, effective management, and implementation of agency requirements for burrowing owl conservation. Workshop information will be useful for gaining basic knowledge about the ecology of the species as well as related information about conservation planning, meeting CEQA and other regulatory requirements, and for outreach to the public.
The workshop consists of a daytime classroom session, Friday August 14, 2015, 8:00a.m.-3:00p.m., and enrollment in either one of two field training sessions, either Friday August 14, 4:00p.m.-8:00 p.m. (immediately after the classroom portion) or Saturday August 15, 7:30a.m.-11:30a.m (the next morning). Both the classroom and the field components of the workshop take place at Shoreline Golf Course.
