Monthly Program

Palmyra Atoll is a cluster of islands 1,000 miles south of Hawaii; it has never had permanent inhabitation and today exists as a research base jointly administered by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Matt Miller, a writer for TNC, was able to visit and participate in a research program. He’ll share the unique ecology and history of this unique island, as well as its incredible conservation success story. Although it was never permanently inhabited, a US Navy presence introduced rats during WWII. But now Palmyra is rat free and the results are astonishing…for birds, crabs and even the coral reef.

Matt Miller is the Editor of The Nature Conservancy’s Cool Green Science blog. He lives in Boise where he enjoys adventure birding.

On the 3rd Tuesday of most months, we provide our members with a chance to come and enjoy a presentation on a variety of bird-related topics. We often arrange to have local birders share their favorite birding places or experiences, biologists talk about their research, and natural resource professionals update us on wildlife and land management strategies.
