Ian Turner (C'08, Nat. Res.) recently wrote in and let us know that he was living in South Lake Tahoe, working for the Tahoe Resource Conservation District. His work focuses on aquatic and terrestrial invasive species---sampling, mapping, education and outreach.
The real reason that he wrote was to inform us of some great work conducted by another alum, Patrick Rakes, a former Natural Resources major. Ian wrote "Conservation Fisheries, a non-profit that specializes in breeding rare and endangered freshwater fish, was started by a Natty Re Alum: Patrick Rakes. A number of fish from his lab were featured in a National Geographic article last year."

It is always good to hear from the Snowden people around the world, and please let us know what you are up to!

Island Ecology on St. Catherines
As usual, Bran Potter and TKL started off the St. Catherines Program this year. Martin Knoll and Ken Smith also spent time on the island teaching 10 excellent students. Shown here are Mary Michael Forrester (Geo/Math C'12, driving the boat with TKL) and Arden Jones (C'13) during a trawling session in June.
