Dr. Tom Stephenson, head of the Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep Recovery Program, will give a lecture at the Mono Lake Committee Information Center & Bookstore this Wednesday, August 31, at 4:00pm.

Bighorn sheep are an endangered species in the Sierra, and Tom’s work has focused on rehabilitating threatened populations of sheep in the Wheeler Ridge, the Mt. Langley area, and the Mono Basin’s own Lundy Canyon. Come by our Theater & Gallery on Wednesday for this next installment of our summer lecture series, “Refreshments with Refreshing ‘Ologists.” Contact Julia with any questions at (760) 647-6595.
