Mountain Lions, The Value of Keystone Species
PRESENTATION: THE VALUE OF KEYSTONE SPECIES
When: MAY 17, 2024, 6:00 - 7:30 PM
Where: Bear Creek Nature Center
245 Bear Creek Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
Twenty years ago, when I first started studying and filming mountain lions, I noticed the habitat they occupied was some of the best wildlife habitat I was spending time in. My first assumption was that they were drawn this fantastic habitat. But after learning more about their role as a keystone species I realized they play an enormous role in creating this habitat. This presentation will be a celebration of several keystone species in Colorado, including mountain lions, wolves, beavers, bees and even sagebrush. We will also explore ecosystem management versus wildlife species management.

Mountain Lions, Elusive yet Predictable
PRESENTATION: MOUNTAIN LIONS, ELUSIVE YET PREDICTABLE
When: November 4, 2024, 7:00 - 8:30 PM
Where: Trinity Lutheran Church
3333 Duffield Ave, Loveland, CO 80538
Twenty years ago, when I first started studying and filming mountain lions, I assumed they were elusive and unpredictable. I followed their tracks in the snow to determine if there were any natural factors that would help me pinpoint how they navigated across the landscape. After about five years of spending time weekly in their home turf, I came to realize that yes, they are elusive and yet very predictable in how they hunt and navigate across the landscape. This combination is unique for any wildlife species and makes the mountain lion a fascinating animal to study.
