Wishing the best for the family of Chris Thayer this morning. He was found dead yesterday in his home. Chris was a botanist and had worked with many of us for many years. He was a colleague and a friend to quite a few people here at Biomaas including me, and Steve and Cullen. I worked with him at Sycamore Associates along with his wife Lisa Thayer, and then later he worked at Biomaas, and also at Condor Country Consulting as well. We offer our sincere condolences to Lisa, and Nate and Emily Chris' children, as well as the whole Thayer family.

ALASKA... National Park Service and State Clash over the recent Wolf Pack Killing An entire wolf pack was shot and killed by aerial gunning for the sole purpose... of boosting moose and caribou numbers, discarding the fact that they were part of a twenty year study by NPS! On Feb. 21, the state agency shot all 11 members of the Lost Creek pack near Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. That included the pack’s alpha pair, which had been fitted with park service collars as part of an ongoing research project. Yukon-Charley Superintendent Greg Dudgeon said the shootings are a setback for a long-term study of wolf behavior that began roughly 20 years ago. He said the Lost Creek pack had been monitored for the past seven years as part of the study, which looks at wolf migration patterns, denning habits and population changes. Alaska fully intends to continue it aerial killing of wolves, calling it Predator Control. TAKE ACTION...
