LOS ALAMOS, NM, November 14, 2021 – Join the Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) and Los Alamos Creative District on Monday, Nov. 15 for Nature On Tap.

The talk will start at 5:30 p.m. and take place at the Los Alamos Nature Center, located at 2600 Canyon Rd.

The Large Mammal Monitoring Project is an ongoing collaborative effort between Bandelier National Monument and Valles Caldera National Preserve to simultaneously monitor the responses of mule deer, elk, black bear, and mountain lion populations to forest restoration treatments. This talk will specifically focus on what researchers have learned so far regarding Mountain Lion ecology in the Jemez Mountains, and presenters will share some of their unique observations while working with this cryptic species.

Seating is limited to 35 people, so please register in advance at Event Details – Pajarito Environmental Education Center (peecnature.org).
