LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) is presenting a special program, “PUMA: Coming to a Backyard Near You”.  Join Bill Betty, a mountain lion lecturer from Rhode Island, as he gives a ninety-minute PowerPoint presentation that covers all aspects of cougar behavior. Sport hunting, reproduction, pets, predation, and habituation will all be covered in detail.  He will also discuss the various theories that explain how cougars are reoccupying the Northeast.  Bill is a very knowledgeable and fascinating speaker who has witnessed more than a dozen sightings of cougars in New England.

 This special ADK presentation will be held on Saturday, August 25 at 8 p.m. at ADK’s  High Peaks Information Center, located at Heart Lake in Lake Placid. This presentation is free and open to the public.
