UPDATE! CAMDEN PUBLIC LIBRARY CANCELLED
Our “Wild Maine” series of nature programs, in partnership with the Camden Public Library, continues in 2024 with a presentation by CWS President and Associate Professor of Wildlife Ecology, Dr. Jack Hopkins, all about identifying mammal tracks and scat in Maine.
This is a hybrid event and will take place in person in the Picker Room at Camden Public Library as well as on Zoom. To attend virtually, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5QU-uLXjRJSHl5LHDAJCkw
About the Presenter:
Jack Hopkins is a wildlife ecologist who is broadly interested in understanding how animals respond to human impacts and a changing environment. He primarily uses stable isotopes and other chemical tracers in combination with a variety of field methods and statistical approaches to investigate species interactions, wildlife-habitat relationships, and the foraging behavior of carnivores. He is also currently active in using chemical data from laser ablation mass spectrometry to develop statistical models for applications in wildlife forensics. Much of Jack’s research is motivated by the needs of state, federal, provincial, or tribal agencies. As such, informing wildlife conservation, management, and policy is often the primary goal of his research.
