The Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT), The Trustees of Reservations (The Trustees), Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), Berkshire Natural Resources Council (BNRC) and Berkshire Community College are proud to present Sue Morse’s critically acclaimed presentation “The Cougar Returns to the East”. The presentation is free and open to the public.
There is no question about it. Cougars are not only being seen in eastern North America, some are attempting to recolonize their former habitats. Where once it was flatly dismissed as an impossibility in the so-called “developed” east, scientists have now documented cougar dispersals and even occupancy in a growing list of eastern states and provinces. Join us for a magnificently illustrated introduction to cougar biology and ecology in the broad diversity of habitats where Sue has studied them, from Alberta to the Arizona/Mexico border. You’ll 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 of Keeping Track, is highly regarded as an expert in natural history and one of the top wildlife trackers in North America. 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.
The following day, Sunday, February 7th, Sue will be giving a guided morning hike to teach tracking concepts. To reserve your space contact El...@thebeatnews.org. Space is limited so sign up today to reserve your spot!

I don't know Sue Morse. She's an attractive and aggressive older woman, is she?
