Join us for an overview of rats in the state of Alaska, including how they arrive, species they impact, efforts to remove them from islands, and measures to prevent future invasions. Our speaker is Jen Curl!

Jen is currently a wildlife educator for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and assists the invasive species representative (Joe Meehan) with rat-related issues for the ADF&G Department of Wildlife Conservation. She was a part of the team that eradicated rats from Rat Island in 2008 and worked on logistics for the project, and pre- and post-monitoring of the ecosystem from 2006 – 2010, and just returned from her eighth trip to the Aleutian Islands this summer.
