Public invited to talk on the real dangers of the mountain’s wildlife
What are the real dangers of an encounter with a bear, mountain lion or rattlesnake?
Hear the details from the Sierra Club’s engaging speaker, Victoria Monroe, the wildlife biologist in Kern County for California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Monroe hobbled into a recent local meeting with a bandaged foot after an encounter with a bobcat. For this wildlife biologist, that was all in a day’s work. Chances are, none of the rest of us will ever get that close to an angry bobcat.
Ms. Monroe will also explain the impact of drought on the local wildlife, which are being drawn ever closer to our homes and recreation areas.
The Condor Group of the Sierra Club invites all the public; membership is not required.
When: Saturday, Aug. 8 at 6:30 p.m. / program at 7 p.m.
Where: Pool Pavilion at the
Pine Mountain clubhouse
Who: All the public is invited
