The two bucks spared intermittently, vying for the doe's attention. A buck's preoccupation during the breeding season makes him more vulnerable during this time of year to capture by predators (including human hunters) and, in this instance, photographers." Hello to a new member of our staff We welcome Asa Trapp as Conservation Northwest's auction coordinator and development associate. Asa graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Political Science and joins us after a productive internship at the League of Conservation Voters. "I am excited to be joining the staff of Conservation Northwest because its mission strongly coincides with my personal beliefs," he said. Asa gained his love of wildlife and wilderness from family trips to national parks. "I remember visiting the Redwoods in California and being in awe of the Sequoias and how peaceful it was to hike through them." Asa is a Seattle native and fills his free time with soccer, backpacking, snowboarding, traveling, and enjoying Seattle's amazing parks. "I'm excited to meet our wonderful supporter base and want to encourage you all to attend our auction: It's going to be a blast!" —Jodi Broughton Asa on a visit to Israel.
