Tug Hill Winter Wildlife Webinar Series, Part 2:
February 26, 7 p.m.
WATERTOWN, NEW
YORK – The Tug Hill Commission invites the public to join a webinar on
Thursday, February 26 at 7 p.m. dedicated to the wolverine, a unique and
threatened mammal of the north. Register at tinyurl.com/2026WWWRegistration and a Zoom link will be sent along with your registration
confirmation email.
This webinar will
give participants the opportunity to hear from Zoo New York’s Lead
Zookeeper, Steve Chorma, about a formidable and elusive animal, the
wolverine. Steve is New York State’s only wolverine keeper, caring for Abisko, a wolverine born in Sweden who now calls Zoo
New York his forever home. Wolverines are now considered extinct in the
wild in New York State, but at one point they roamed the forests of the
Adirondack and Catskill Mountains.
This webinar is
part of the Tug Hill Winter Wildlife Webinar Series, which explores the
region’s diverse wildlife and conservation efforts. Stay tuned for upcoming
sessions, including a discussion on pollinators and native flowers led by
CCE Jefferson County Horticulture and Natural Resources Educator, Cierra
Williams, on March 26, 2026.
The New York
State Tug Hill Commission is a non-regulatory state agency charged with
helping local governments, organizations, and citizens shape the future of
the region, especially its environment and economy. The commission uses a
grassroots approach to build local capacity and provide technical
assistance in land use planning, community development, and natural
resource management.
