Spend a weekend immersed in the world of mountain lions while learning how land conservation supports wildlife, landscapes, and communities.
The Puma Ecology & Conservation Easement Tour is a unique fundraising experience that brings together wildlife ecology, land conservation, and on-the-ground learning.

Over two nights at Hermosa, participants will explore puma habitat through guided hikes and landscape interpretation, learning how to read the land like a lion by searching for tracks, scat, scrapes, and other signs of presence. Along the way, we’ll discuss how conservation easements work, why land protection matters, and how conserved lands can support wildlife movement, ecological health, and long-term stewardship.

Guided by Dr. Travis Perry and Megan Perry, this experience connects field observations with broader conversations about puma ecology, predator behavior, and human–wildlife coexistence. Evenings are spent enjoying excellent meals catered by Bear Mountain Lodge, sharing good conversation, and building connections with fellow participants.

This program, running May 8–10, is offered in partnership with the New Mexico Land Conservancy and serves as a fundraiser to support the work of our organization and theirs. Each organization will offer dedicated presentations on its mission, current conservation efforts, and the role of education and land conservation in New Mexico.

By registering, you’re not only participating in an engaging and informative experience — you’re directly supporting conservation education, land protection, and stewardship efforts across the state.
