Wildlife Wednesday: The Bobcat, Connecticut’s Secretive Wild Cat

This presentation by Master Wildlife Conservationist Ginny Apple focuses on the natural history of bobcats in Connecticut. It also provides an overview of bobcat habitat, diet, behavior, reproduction and current research efforts. Bobcat artifacts will also be shown.

A native Texan, Ginny Apple was one of the first full-time women sportswriters in the country, who left the field mid-career to pursue a path in communications/public relations. Through the years she has hiked, climbed, kayaked, skied and poked her way through the outdoors and developed a passion for all things natural. A move to the middle of the woods in Barkhamsted 20 years ago brought her into an environment filled with bears and other wildlife.
