Midpen is working with the University of Santa Cruz Puma Project on a 5-year study to learn more about how mountain lions use open space lands frequently visited by people and to better understand factors that influence human-mountain lion interactions.
Midpen has awarded $250,000 to 10 regional nonprofit and research organizations for projects in support of Midpen preserves for public access, interpretation, education and research.
At any given time of the year, multiple projects are in-progress throughout Midpen preserves aimed at restoring ecological health and creating landscapes that are resilient to fire, while reducing potential wildland fire severity and helping to protect public safety.Staff
