Featured Speakers:
Dr. Alyson Andreasen is an Associate Conservation Scientist and Field Ecologist with the North American Program of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Andreasen is a fourth generation Nevadan and grew up in Carson City, graduating from the University of Nevada, Reno. Her research on mountain lions in the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin has impacted local, national, and international conservation and management.
Carl Lackey, a Biologist with the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), has worked extensively educating our local community and surrounding areas in bear habitat and interaction with humans. Nevada’s bear program, which includes public education and the Karelian Bear Dog program, has benefited immensely by its relationship with the Wildlife Conservation Society. Working together since 1999 the NDOW/WCS team with Jon Beckmann of WCS and Carl Lackey of NDOW led the way in urban bear research.
The mission of Sierra Nevada Forums is to provide citizens with fact-based, verifiable information to assist them in making well informed decisions on issues of importance to our community and beyond.
