Members of LEAP's Human-Wildlife Interaction Committee aim to leverage expertise from natural resource professionals in the LEAP region to discuss interactive situation between wildlife and humans. The committee works together to identify and create educational materials for land managers and interested residents within the LEAP region.
The committee meets virtually at 10:00 AM on the Wednesday before each scheduled LEAP Meeting. If you are interested in attending a meeting, please contact Geoff Westerfield.
