Patti Happe, the wildlife branch chief for Olympic National Park, is the featured speaker at the next Science Café, presented by the Sequim Education Foundation, set for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, at the Paradise Restaurant, 703 N. Sequim Ave.

Happe has worked at the park in her role since 1996, but started working in the park in 1985 when she studied relationships between elk and deer and forest vegetation in the park.

Happe will give a brief overview of the park’s fisher reintroduction to the Olympic Peninsula — why it was done, how it was done, how researchers are assessing how the population is doing and the future of fishers in Washington.

The Science Café is a community service of the Sequim Education Foundation. Programs present expert speakers for adult and young adult audiences interested in current developments in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. See www.sequimed.org.

Science Café events are held on the second Tuesday of the month at the Paradise Restaurant. Admission is free and food and beverages are available for purchase.

Upcoming Science Café presentations include: April 12, “OLYMPEX: A collaborative effort to study rain and snow on the Olympic Peninsula” with Angela Rowe, and May 10, “Algae in Human Affairs: Blooms, Fuels and Carbon Capture” with Scott Edmundson.
