Peninsula Open Space Trust, National Wildlife Federation and Land Trust of Santa Cruz County are pleased to host an interactive panel, “Tails of Two Cities,” exploring the importance of California’s connected landscapes and their importance to wildlife, including mountain lions, bobcats and many other animals. The panelists will discuss habitat conservation for wildlife, including mountain lions and bobcats, and wildlife linkages, including the Laurel Curve wildlife crossing under Highway 17 between San Jose and Santa Cruz and other projects to improve linkages in Coyote Valley and across the South Bay with a variety of local partners. The panel will also discuss Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing at Liberty Canyon on the 101 freeway in Southern California, as well as broader efforts to support more connected wildlands across California.
