Join the Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) and Los Alamos Creative District Monday, for Nature On Tap at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 15 at the Los Alamos Nature Center, 2600 Canyon Road.

This event will feature a presentation about the Large Mammal Monitoring Project from Valles Caldera National Preserve’s Mark Peyton and Bandelier National Monument’s Sarah Milligan.

The Large Mammal Monitoring Project is an ongoing collaborative effort between Bandelier National Monument and Valles Caldera National Preserve to simultaneously monitor the responses of mule deer, elk, black bear and mountain lion populations to forest restoration treatments.

This talk will specifically focus on what researchers have learned so far regarding Mountain Lion ecology in the Jemez Mountains, and presenters will share some of their unique observations while working with this cryptic species.

Seating is limited to 35 people, so register in advance at peecnature.org/events. Bathtub Row Brewing Co-op will be at the nature center with beer and wine for sale at a cash bar. Enjoy a drink from them while listening to this fascinating talk!
