Cultivating Connectivity: Ungulates in the Northern Sierra

Ungulate species like deer, elk, and pronghorn play a critical role in the ecological fabric of the Northern Sierra. Their seasonal migrations span vast distances and depend on healthy, connected habitats. Yet increasing habitat fragmentation and climate impacts—like catastrophic wildfire—pose significant challenges to their movement, survival, and population recovery.

This Cultivating Connectivity event brings together perspectives from research and conservation to look at the current state of ungulate populations in the region and approaches to support their recovery. Biologists from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) will share insights on migration routes, population trends, and the science informing habitat conservation for these hooved species.

Speakers will highlight both the challenges and opportunities in supporting the long-term health of ungulate species, and attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of how science, stewardship, and citizen engagement can work together to support wildlife connectivity in the Upper Feather River Watershed.
