Predator/prey workshop to be held at North American Conference

A full-day workshop on integrating predator/prey management to achieve conservation objectives will be held at the 72nd North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference. The Conference will be held in March, at the Hilton Portland and Executive Tower in Portland, Oregon.

Jointly sponsored by the Safari Club International Foundation and the Wildlife Management Institute, the workshop, which will take place on Tuesday, March 20, will examine societal, biological and policy issues surrounding predator/prey relationships and management. The event's objective is to improve integration of predator/prey management plans.

The workshop will feature a mix of invited speakers and submitted papers, plus a poster session. Three of four sessions will address (1) integrating mountain lion and ungulate management; (2) integrating wolf and big game management; and (3) predator management implications for waterfowl and upland birds.

Conference preregistration is required. Persons wishing to attend the Conference only for the workshop must pay the one-day registration fee. All persons who wish to attend the workshop must RSVP to Bob Byrne, at bbyrne@sci-dc.org. A complimentary lunch and refreshment breaks will be provided workshop attendees.
