2B | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS Cape Protect a Species of Con- servation Concern The Black Oyster- catcher is a unique shorebird of conserva- tion concern that de- pends on rocky shore- line habitats. During this presenta- tion, Joe Liebezeit will share about this bird’s unique life history, con- servation challenges, and results of the multi- year monitoring effort. Since 2015, Portland Audubon, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and coastal partners have been monitoring this species along Oregon’s Coast with the help of a team of community sci- entists. Learn about how this work is being used to advance conservation of oystercatchers and Oregon’s rocky habitats and how you can be in- volved!

For decades, these intentionally plant- ed but invasive grasses have presented complex tradeoffs to land man- agers trying to balance conservation and coastal protection. It was recently discov- ered that these two grass species, which have dif- ferential effects on dune shape and native plant diversity, are hybridiz- ing. Rebecca Mostow, a PhD candidate at Ore- gon State University, will tell the story of how this unexpected discovery was made and explain how you can help map new hybrids and expand our understanding of this unexpected event.
