Speaker – Les Gyug: Williamson’s Sapsuckers were assessed as Endangered in Canada in 2005. Results from research in 2006-2008 were turned into a Recovery Plan and management guidelines. This presentation is a look 10 years down the line to see how the species and management efforts have fared. Les Gyug, a long-time CONC member, is a professional consulting biologist who has worked in many places in B.C. and on many species from mice to moose. Les has been lead on research, management and monitoring of Williamson’s Sapsucker since 1996 and has been an active member of the Williamson’s Sapsucker Recovery Team since its inception in 2006.
