- **Event Name**: Bobcats Make a Comeback in WI: Author Talk w/ Al Cornell
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: They're back! Bobcats were extirpated from a large area of the Midwest. That void included all or parts of nine states. Agricultural and other land usage changes have now restored ideal bobcat habitat to most of that void that had been previously occupied. The rugged Driftless Area, with its craggy rock outcrops, interface of forests and open areas, and cottontail population, is ideal bobcat habitat. Author, Al Cornell, will present recent research about bobcats in our area. He'll also be selling books! 

Bio: Before retirement, Al Cornell worked in Sauk and Iowa Counties as a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Technician. Hundreds of his articles and nearly a thousand photos have been published in outdoor books, calendars, and magazines. Al and his wife live on a portion of the farm where he grew up in northern Richland County.
