Join ecologist and Antioch University New England professor Jeff Littleton for four afternoons on the life and times of New Hampshire’s mammal predators. From bobcat to coyote, fisher to fox, learn how these mammals survive and thrive in the Monadnock Region. Through slides, lecture, discussion, and a few short field trips in and around Keene, we’ll study the important role these predators play in the health of our ecosystems, as well as the challenges they have historically faced in New England. 

The course will be held on Thursdays–February 2, 9, 16, and 23, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Conference Room at Railroad Square, Southwestern Community Services, 49 Community Way, Keene.  $40/Members, $60/non-members.   Please call 525-3394 for further information, or email Sara at lefebvre@harriscenter.org.
