At Montana WILD, 2668 Broadwater Ave. Free and open to the public!

In this intriguing talk with Dr Libby Metcalf & Dr Alex Metcalf they will share their research on human-wildlife interactions and how critical the human component is. One person’s actions can protect themselves and their neighbors—depending on the relationships between individuals-- whether it’s landowner and agencies, neighbors, organizations and the public, or all of the above.

Drs Metcalf believe any decision to manage natural resources is necessarily a social process; through close partnership with natural resource managers (both private and public; current and future) they seek to ensure these management decisions are informed by both ecological and human dimensions. More information about our formidable speaker can be found at the University of Montana's Human Dimensions Lab.
