LOCATION OF TALK: Manchester Elementary Middle School Gym, 80 Memorial Avenue, Manchester Center, VT 05255
Join us for a magnificently illustrated introduction to cougar biology and ecology in the broad diversity of habitats where Sue Morse 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!
Sue Morse, the founder and science director of Keeping Track, is highly regarded as an expert in natural history and one of North America's top wildlife trackers. Since 1977, she has been monitoring wildlife, with an emphasis on documenting the presence and habitat requirements of bobcat, black bear, Canada lynx and cougar.
When not in the field conducting research, leading training programs or photographing wildlife, Sue Morse can often be found presenting her findings and award-winning images to a wide range of audiences, including the general public, conservation leaders and students of all ages. Over the years, the University of Vermont graduate has served as mentor to numerous young people and inspired many to pursue careers in natural resources.
