Nature Nights: Susan Canton Discusses the Canada Lynx

August 11, 2003

The endangered Canada lynx is the topic that will be presented at the sixth edition of Nature Nights on August 11. US Fish and Wildlife Service Biologist Susan Canton will be discussing the lynx's past, present, and future. Come learn more about this animal that has found a home in the northwoods of Minnesota. Nature Nights is held at the International Wolf Center and is free and open to the public.

Once more common than it is today, the lynx is now protected under the Endangered Species Act. Canton will describe what is being done to try and conserve the Canada lynx and lead it on its road to recovery. She will also talk about the latest on lynx research nationally and locally.

Nature Nights is a series of speakers held every Monday evening.
