Tuleyome's Nature & You Lecture: Tule Elk
The tule elk, an endemic California subspecies, has a complex natural history intertwined with the activities of both native and immigrant peoples. Presumed extinct by the mid-19th century, tule elk have since received over a century of intense management.
Joint efforts between public and private entities have resulted in remarkable increases in tule elk abundance and distribution across California, representing one of the greatest conservation success stories of our time. Today, such efforts continue with the aim of conserving tule elk populations for all to enjoy. Current management practices seek to blend traditional and modern monitoring techniques to improve our understanding of tule elk population dynamics.
In this presentation, Dr. Tom Batter (UC Davis/CA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife), discusses the ecology, natural history, and modern management practices of California’s tule elk.
