Upcoming Presentations & Events

River otters are charismatic carnivores, and make wonderful ambassadors for river and wetland restoration and conservation efforts. Yet, little was known about their population, range and seasonal eating habits in the Bay Area before we began our project. The River Otter Ecology Project has taken on the challenge of discovering and documenting their ecological niche, with the goal of informing land use decisions and preserving habitat for these lively aquatic mammals. Our educational presentations and tabling events offer a range of lively, entertaining and fun activities for adults and children, to help the world understand that what’s good for river otters — healthy watersheds — is good for humans and all living beings.

River otters are thriving in the Bay Area. Let’s keep it that way!
