Bobcatpalooza – April 5-12

Bobcatpalooza – April 5-12 | New Mexico Wilderness Alliance

Kevin Hansen, renowned bobcat biologist and author of “Bobcats: Masters of Survival” will speak. And because leg-hold traps are an unfortunate part of the bobcat’s world these days, there will be information about trapping and demonstrations about how to open a trap for pet and human safety. Plus there will be ambassador animals and refreshments!
