Register to watch!

Please join us for the live online presentation of “Lions and Fires and Humans, Oh Deer!” by ecologist Ellie Bolas. Currently a PhD candidate at the University of California Davis (UCD), Bolas will discuss how mule deer in the Santa Monica Mountains and Conejo Valley navigate a dynamic landscape of risks and rewards.

Bolas’s research in partnership with the National Park Service and California Department of Fish and Wildlife examines mountain lion and mule deer behavior, spatial ecology and predator-prey interactions relative to wildfire and humans. Bolas has been involved in wildlife research and conservation for almost 15 years. In 2020, she completed an MS in Ecology from UCD on the ecology and conservation of the island spotted skunk on the Channel Islands.
