IS YOUR AGENCY READY TO RESPOND?  If not or if you would like to know more about how to become the respected authority on cougars in your state don't miss this opportunity to attend the third Cougar Field Workshop held in New Mexico, March 9 - 13, 2009.

This workshop is truly the only one of its kind in the nation that will provide you a complete package of training in cougar behavior and biology, sign reading, agency considerations, field investigations, media relations and more.  No other workshop is more complete, affordable or can offer the information provided by three GPS collared cougars on location.  The Cougar Field Workshop is geared toward educating mid-western and eastern biologists but may be appropriate for staff from states with established cougar populations as well. 

Your agency will benefit by having:

• Specially trained staff
• Experience in reading and interpreting cougar tracks and sign
• Media training
• A response plan template
• On-site and livestock damage investigation training
• A network of other professionals for immediate advice and consultation
• A packet of ready-to-use information in hand and much more
