About the cover, image © Brett Cole A mule deer crosses a road through the former wetlands of Tule Lake, California, on a frosty December morning. Truck traffic is an issue in the area, as a network of irrigation canals and roads carve up the refuges. A 60-mile-per-hour highway runs through the biologically critical Lower Klamath Refuge. The Lower Klamath was the nation's first waterfowl refuge, declared by Teddy Roosevelt in 1908, and was designated a national historic landmark in 1965. Conservation photographer Brett Cole has worked from the redwoods to Alaska documenting endangered forests and wildlife. VIsit his excellent work online at brettcolephotography.com.

They keep our website updated, organize remote camera data, compile research, work on the auction, and so much more to help us succeed. Unfortunately, to accomplish their work, our interns cannot rely on the severely outdated computers we have available. If you or your company are upgrading your computers, you can receive a tax break by donating your old machines to help our interns. We are looking for several PCs with the following specifications: • No more than three years old • Capable of supporting Windows XP or later • Intel or AMD processors, preferably newer than Core 2 Duo • At least 100GB hard drive space • 1GB RAM or more • No known hardware problems To donate, please email Barbara Christensen, barbara@conservationnw. org. Your old equipment will help us save funds for important program work and help our interns save wildlife and wild places! Thank you.
