DESCRIPTION:Muddy raccoon tracks on a car windshield in the morning are the only 
 evidence of a nightly raid of garden tomatoes and trash cans. Hummingbirds 
 buzz noisily through a suburban neighborhood, seeking ornamental plants 
 succulent with rich nectar. A chorus of frogs creates a symphony of mating 
 calls from an irrigation channel under a moon drenched farm. A mountain 
 lion trots down an old forest road, stopping momentarily to sniff a 
 discarded tangerine peel left by a mountain biker a few hours 
 prior.\n\nCome join us for a talk about what behaviors, adaptations, and 
 resources allow wildlife to either thrive—or fight to survive—across a 
 diverse landscape of people and land use.\n\nThe event will consist of a 
 presentation inside the Hay Barn followed by a short stroll around the UCSC 
 Farm to observe some of the common flora and fauna associated with farms, 
 agriculture, and urban areas.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nChad Moura joined the 
 Santa Cruz Mountains Reserve in October of 2022 as its first Director. Chad 
 has a M.S. in Natural Resources – Wildlife from Cal Poly Humboldt 
 (formerly Humboldt State University), as well as a B.S. in Zoology from 
 University of California, Santa Barbara. Before his time at UC Santa Cruz, 
 Chad was a seasonal tech and wildlife biologist for a variety of agencies, 
 universities, and private consulting companies across California – from 
 the Mojave desert to the redwoods of Humboldt County. Chad grew up in San 
 Jose, CA and has explored much of the Santa Cruz Mountains region during 
 his youth, so this position is a home coming back to the watersheds and 
 woodlands he calls home. For more information about the Santa Cruz 
 Mountains Reserve, please visit our website at

 place on Saturday, February 8 2025, from 9:30 to 11:00 am, and will meet at 
 the Hay Barn on the UCSC Campus.\n\nPre-registration is required for this
