KYLE – On July 30, in Kyle, Cougar Fund Executive Director Penny Maldonado will share her love of mountain lions and knowledge of their positive role on the land. She will discuss mountain lions’ natural history and behaviors. She looks forward to hearing about community members’ experiences with mountain lions, she says, “As it is the stories that we share and learn from that connect us and make our lives meaningful.”
