ARCATA, Calif. – An opportunity to learn about mountain lions and fishers, among the most elusive wildlife species on the North Coast, will be offered in a free lecture at 3 p.m., Sunday, March 19, at the Redwood Playhouse in Garberville.
The talk is presented by the Bureau of Land Management and the Lost Coast Interpretive Association. It is part of a lecture series offered during the winter months.
Phil Johnston, a professional wildlife tracker, will talk about the behavior of these carnivores and how they interact with one another. He will include tips on how to track and observe these animals in the wilds of California.
Johnston has spent the past seven years tracking and studying wildlife of northern California, including mountain lions and fishers in Humboldt County.
