Hiking Through Lion Country
Name a long-distance trail and Renee “She-ra” Patrick has either hiked it (Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Appalachian Trail) or designed it (Oregon Desert Trail, Blue Mountains Trail). Or it’s the next trail on her bucket list (Pacific Northwest Trail). Renee has encountered a cougar – once – in well over 11,000 miles of hiking. In this talk, she’ll share practical advice for how to coexist with wildlife while out on trail, highlight the key conservation issues you’ll be hiking right through and share a few inspiring stories of hikers who have become terrific advocates for wildlife and wildlife habitat.
