On October 14, a field trip took place, where interested individuals could see the effects of the project in the field. Thanks to data flowing from telemetry collars, participants actively searched for lynxes or traces of their presence (buried prey and tracks). At the end of the trip, everyone managed to see a female with this year’s young, which was a positive culmination of the day’s search efforts.<\/p>\n
