Want to learn more about nature and science? Consider attending the Public Lecture Series: Science in Action by the USGS. The April 7th lecture will be Wandering Wildlife: Tracking movement, migrations and mileage, from wolves to wading birds by Robert Gill and Dr. L. David Mech. Can't make it in person? The lectures will be available in video following each lecture.
