University of Washington Predator Ecology Lab - Mountaineers Seattle Program Center

Meet at the Seattle Program Center, 7700 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115, at room Cascade B at 7:00pm. Event will run until 8:00pm.

Bears, wolves, cougars... have we got your attention? 

Learn about how cougars and black bears are responding to growth and development in our region with Clint Robins, second year Masters and Ph.D. student and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. In Washington, cougars occupy landscapes adjacent to residential development. What does this mean for the ecology and behavior of cougars? What about conservation of these two majestic species?

Since 2008, as part of the Wildlife Science Program in the University of Washington's School of Environmental and Forest Sciences, scientists and scientists-in-training at the Predator Ecology Lab have sought a better understanding of how predators influence their surroundings by interacting with one another and their prey. Much of the lab's work also seeks solutions to the challenges of large carnivore conservation and management in a changing world.

Join us to learn more about the fascinating predators of Washington and beyond!
