May Sierra Club Program Will Feature Yosemite Wildlife: The Wonder of Animal Life in California’s Sierra Nevada
Well known author and wildlife advocate Beth Pratt will present a special program at the Tuolumne County County library at 480 Greenley Road in Sonora on Wednesday, May 26th, at 7 p.m.
This is a special Sierra Club program you won’t want to miss! Wildlife advocate, conservation leader and author, Beth Pratt, will share stories and science from her new book, Yosemite Wildlife: The Wonder of Animal Life in California’s Sierra Nevada in a program at the Tuolumne County Library on Greenley Road on Wednesday, May 26th at 7 p.m.
Beth spent over three decades working on Yosemite Wildlife to fulfill her vision of continuing the legacy of Grinnell & Storer’s landmark 1924 wildlife research book Animal Life in the Yosemite. Her background includes working in both Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks. Beth’s role as the California Regional Director for the National Wildlife Federation led to her gaining enormous funding to create a wildlife crossing over a Los Angeles highway that enables mountain lions and other wildlife to have safe movement.
Beth has presented to audiences of thousands at various prestigious venues, and her efforts on behalf of wildlife have gained widespread acclaim. She resides near Yosemite in Mariposa County. Hope to see you at this event!
The beautiful foothill and forest region on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada is a destination for millions of visitors each year. Protecting the environment, especially water quality in streams and rivers, not only helps plants and wildlife, but also benefits recreation and tourism.
