SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting Speaker Series

Sandra will summarize her study about the feeding ecology of this bear population and will offer considerations for human-wildlife coexistence. \nSandra MacDougall has been a biology instructor at Red Deer Polytechnic since 1995. She worked on grizzly and black bear populations in Canada’s north for over two decades\, conducted a three-year grizzly bear food habit\, habitat use and human-bear interactions research study in Nahanni National Park Reserve\, and has collaborated with Parks Canada and the US National Parks Service to conduct field hazard assessments and analyze human-bear conflicts in other northern parks. \nAll are welcome\, you do not have to be a RDRN member to attend.
