The Return of Elk To The Sierra Nevada
May 6, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

It was believed that Elk are non-native to the Sierra Nevada, however new information from Rick Lanman and colleagues suggests otherwise! Using historical newspaper accounts, early explorer and naturalist observation records, museum specimens, zooarchaeological records, and Native American references, their broad investigation uncovered evidence that contradicts our current understanding of the history of Elk in the Sierra Nevada. Join us for a virtual presentation by Rick Lanman to hear about his experience conducting this study, what they uncovered, and how these findings impact our current conservation efforts!
