Mountain Lions are an amazing cat species that once called this landscape home. Discussions have recently started around the idea of reintroducing this top predator. In this informative session you’ll hear directly from Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists about mountain lion biology and natural history as well as the implications for the region's land use and transportation infrastructure, conflict prevention and coexistence considerations, and other critical questions that will need to be answered if the species were to be reintroduced. Presenters include Brehan Furfey, Jens Hilke and Rosalind Renfrew. Register for the webinar here.

Join Jason Hill, Quantitative Ecologist at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, to explore the current state of climate change in New England and what the future likely holds for both people and the wildlife of our mountainous regions. Using long-term data from the Mountain Birdwatch program, this talk highlights clear evidence that montane species are shifting their ranges upslope in response to warming temperatures. We’ll explore what these changes mean for the future of high-elevation ecosystems and the species that depend on them.
