This ‘Ologist presentation will cover the current status of the Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep, and the California Department of Fish & Wildlife’s current projects to monitor the endangered, charismatic animal. We will hear from Lacey Greene, an environmental scientist who works for the agency on the Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep Recovery Program. Hope to see you there!
