Second Eastern Cougar Conference To Be Held In April 2004
"The Eastern Cougar Conference, 2004", will be held April 29th, 30th, and May 1st, 2004, in Morgantown, West Virginia. This special conference, only the second such meeting ever devoted entirely to the fascinating subject of the cougar in the eastern half of North America, is being organized jointly by the Eastern Cougar Foundation (ECF) and the American Ecological Research Institute (AERIE).
While the Eastern Cougar Network (ECN) is not an organizer of the Conference, all four of its founders plan on attending and may participate in the presentations.
The conference is open to anyone with an interest in wildlife, conservation, nature, cougars, or related topics. Students are encouraged to attend. Registration fees have not yet been set.
AERIE and the ECF are currently soliciting proposals for papers pertinent to the subject of eastern, midwestern or Great Plains cougars. If you have questions about the conference, or if you would like to have a presentation, poster, or display considered for inclusion in the final schedule of events, please e-mail a brief (500 words or less) abstract as soon as possible to Dr. Jay Tischendorf at the following e-mail address: Jay_Tischendorf@Merck.com.
