Speaking of Nature Series- Bobcats

November 29, 2018, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM @ Rancocas Nature Center

We welcome David Wheeler, Executive Director of Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, to Rancocas. He will be presenting on the reintroduction of the bobcat to NJ– a fascinating story. Virtually extinct in NJ by the 1960’s, successful bobcat restoration projects begun in the late 70’s and early 80’s have led to a stable breeding population. Today, they are listed as a NJ endangered species and are the only remaining wild cat in the state. Mr. Wheeler has worked on wildlife conservation and environmental issues in NJ and beyond for more than a decade. He is the author of the book Wild New Jersey: Nature Adventures in the Garden State. Preregister by calling the Nature Center at 609-261-2495 or register online. There is no charge for this program, but donations are encouraged.
