"Where
the Wild Things Were:
Life, Death, and Ecological Wreckage in a Land of Vanishing Predators" 
Thursday, September 18,
2008 at 7:00 pm
Byrd Auditorium National Conservation Training Center Shepherd Grade Road Shepherdstown, WV Co-Sponsored by The Friends of the NCTC and The Potomac Valley Audubon Society The Presentation and Speaker Bio: In his new book Where the Wild Things Were
Stolzenburg follows the paths of destruction of the world’s largest predators
and finds chaos in their absence. From the brazen mobs of deer and raccoons
in the backyards of America to the streamsides of Yellowstone National Park
crushed by massive herds of elk; from urchin-scoured reefs of the North Pacific
to ant devoured islands in Venezuela; Stolzenburg leads an eco-tour through
the bizarre landscapes that result when we remove top predators like wolves,
tigers, sea otters, killer whales and lions.
William Stolzenburg has studied predator-control techniques, monitored endangered species, and written hundreds of magazine features and columns on the science of rarity and extinction for Nature Conservancy and Science News among others. He lives in Shepherdstown, WV. The talk is free and open to the public. The NCTC is located at 698 Conservation Way along Shepherd Grade Rd. in Shepherdstown, WV 25443 approximately 70 miles west of Washington and Baltimore. No tickets or reservations are required.
