The Homer-based nonprofit organization Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges is inviting the public to attend a talk from former Kenai National Wildlife Refuge manager and retired biologist Robin West on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 5 p.m. West will speak about his thirty-year career with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska and his solo canoe trip on the Yukon River.
West will present “Looking Back, Looking Forward” at the Refuge headquarters in Soldotna, and Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges will hold an additional watch party at the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Homer. Folks are also welcome to attend virtually via Zoom.
West will be available to sign copies of his book, “Thirty of Forty in the 49th: Memories of a Wildlife Biologist in Alaska” after presenting at the Refuge headquarters. Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges will provide soup and chili and asks attendees to bring treats to share.
Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges will post the Zoom link here as the presentation approaches.
