Sue Morse from "Keeping Track" presents a program on the return of the cougar to the east, Wednesday, July 11, at 6:30 p.m. at the Woodbury Town Hall on Route 14, in Woodbury.

'There is no question about it. Cougars are not only being seen in eastern North America, some are attempting to recolonize their former habitats. Where once it was flatly dismissed as an impossibility in the so-called "developed" east, scientists have now documented cougar dispersals and even occupancy of a growing list of eastern states and provinces. Join us for a magnificently illustrated introduction to cougar biology and ecology in the broad diversity of habitats where Sue has studied them, from Alberta to the Arizona/Mexico border. We will also get the low-down regarding the latest confirmations of cougars in the east, including the recently documented suitability of a substantial amount of wild habitats from Manitoba to Louisiana and Maine to Georgia. It is only a matter of time!'

This program is generously made possible by the Woodbury Conservation Commission and the Woodbury Fund. Sue will have signed books and other items available for sale; proceeds benefit "Keeping Track."

On Wednesday, July 25, at 6:30 p.m., Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife's moose project leader, Cedric Alexander, shares a presentation on the history and current status of moose in Vermont, including the latest results from the department's collared moose study. Project leader since 1991, Alexander has worked on several bird conservation projects over his career, and has been a member of the Department's Big Game Management and State Lands teams since their inception.

These programs are free. All are welcome.
