Coyotes, foxes, ring-tailed cats, and skunks—these are some examples of mesocarnivores, the subject of this summer’s final Refreshments with Refreshing ‘Ologists presentation. Join us this Wednesday, September 9 at 4:00pm in the Mono Lake Committee gallery.

California Department of Fish & Wildlife (DFW) environmental scientist Jonathan Fusaro will explain what is exactly a mesocarnivore, as well as what DFW’s Bishop field office is doing for research and management of mesocarnivores locally. Jonathan works closely in research for the management of black bear populations, and studied them for his master’s degree in wildland resources from the University of Utah. He is also heavily involved with the Eastern Sierra Black Bear Project.
If you want to find out more about the management and research of mesocarnivores, come to the Committee gallery this Wednesday afternoon. It’s free admission and light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Hope to see you there!
