A wildlife biologist with Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Webb is the project leader for furbearers, small game and Canada lynx. With an undergraduate degree in wildlife ecology from the University of Maine in Orono, she went on to obtain her Master’s degree in environmental biology and ecology from the University of Alberta, according to a news release from Jeri Maurer with the club.

Her primary duties include research and management of a wide variety of small and medium-sized mammals, including bats, northern bog lemmings, beavers, bobcats, fishers and coyotes. Before joining the department in 2018, Shevenell worked in western Canada for 10 years, where she was involved in researching wolverines, conducting aerial surveys on moose and elk, and restoring wildlife habitat.

The public is welcome. The lecture series is free of charge.

The club, a leader in environmental awareness, owns and manages the Thorncrag Nature Sanctuary in Lewiston as well as the Woodbury Nature Sanctuary in Monmouth and Litchfield.
