On Saturday, Oct. 1, The Oakhurst Democratic Club goes wild in its monthly meeting at Denny’s on Highway 41 with breakfast at 8:30 a.m., and program beginning at 9:30. Special guest speaker will be Beth Pratt-Bergstrom, California Director of the National Wildlife Federation. Ms. Pratt-Bergstrom will be discussing her amazing career dealing with the evolving dynamic between humans and animals in California and presenting highlights from her new book, “When Mountain Lions Are Neighbors.”
Pratt-Bergstrom has worked in environmental leadership roles for over twenty-five years, and in two of the country’s largest national parks: Yosemite and Yellowstone.
Before joining the National Wildlife Federation in 2011, she worked on sustainability and climate change programs for Xanterra Parks & Resorts in Yellowstone as its Director of Environmental Affairs. Prior to Yellowstone, for nine years Beth served as the Vice President/CFO for the non-profit Yosemite Association (now Yosemite Conservancy) in Yosemite.
Beth graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Boston with bachelor’s degrees in management and biological anthropology, and a minor in marketing. She also obtained an MBA from Regis University in Denver, and earned the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED AP credential.
