Lorna Smith, Department of Fish and Wildlife Commissioner, will talk about the role of the Commission in managing and setting policy for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. She will discuss current issues before the Commission, including establishing rules for when the Department can kill endangered wolves and whether or not Washington’s wolves should retain their endangered status.

Lorna is an alumnus of Evergreen College.  She served as Snohomish County lead environmental supervisor from 1986-2007 and as faculty for several Continuing Legal Education seminars on environmental compliance. Following her time at Snohomish County, she and her biologist husband, Darrell Smith, spent four years in Costa Rica working on habitat projects and establishment of a new national park. They have been involved in a number of conservation efforts including teaching natural history courses for the Jefferson Land Trust and serving on the Board of the Olympic Forest Coalition.
