Please join us on Zoom at 7pm on April 23rd, 2026 for a Nature and You lecture on black bears from Dan Ruka, who will give an overview of bears in California, discuss human-bear interactions, and explore how wildfires are impacting bears. Dan recently completed his M.S. in Ecology at UC Davis, where his research focused on the effects of wildfires on bears.
Please register for the event to receive the Zoom link. I will send out the link on the afternoon of April 23rd. If you register after 3pm on 4/23 or if you have unsubscribed from Tuleyome's emails, please contact Geoff at gbenn@tuleyome.org for the link.
This is a free event, however a donation of $10 or more is suggested to help support Tuleyome’s programs. If you have any questions, please reach out to Geoff Benn at gbenn@tuleyome.org.
