Wildlife Expert Visits the Northwoods, Presentation on Cougars In Wisconsin

On Thursday March 14, Wildlife Ecology Professor Dr. Eric Anderson will visit the Northwoods and provide a free evening presentation on “Big Cats: Fact, Fiction and Future.”  

Dr. Anderson is active in carnivore research and education on cougars, bobcat and wolves.  He is author to numerous scientific journal articles and co-author on several books dealing with carnivores and wildlife habitat selection. Currently, Anderson and his students are investigating wolf pup survival in central Wisconsin as well as researching the presence of cougars throughout the State.  

Multiple confirmed sightings and signs in various counties throughout Wisconsin make this a particularly interesting time to hear from Dr. Anderson on the cougar’s past, current and future status. 

The North Lakeland Discovery Center is hosting Dr. Anderson as the featured presenter in their monthly “Nibbles ‘n’ Knowledge” adult-lecture series. The evening begins with a selection of appetizers and a cash bar from 5 – 6 pm, with the presentation to follow from 6 – 7 pm.   

The evening program will be held at Camp JornYMCA, on Red Feather Road off Highway K in Manitowish Waters.  All Discovery Center programs through April are free of charge, with donations encouraged. Advance registration for all programs is required.
