Growing Native Plants for Birds with Pilchuck Audubon

Learn how growing native plants in your space can benefit many bird species at a seminar hosted by Brian Zinke, Executive Director of the Pilchuck Audubon Society.

His background as a wildlife biologist has taken him across several states where he’s worked to conserve multiple federally endangered species and dozens of Species of Greatest Conservation Need. He’s conducted nighttime surveys, roaming the prairies of Kansas and Wyoming in search of black-footed ferrets and snowshoeing in the dense forests of Jackson Hole surveying Great Gray and Boreal Owls. He’s even wedged himself through narrow passages in caves and abandoned mines testing bats and their hibernacula for white-nose syndrome. A published scientist, Brian is passionate about conservation and education, and enjoys backpacking, gardening – and birding – in his free time.
