A Dedication to Mountain Lions Two Decades Strong

After 19 years of service, Fred Hull will retire from the Mountain Lion Foundation in June 2023. Fred started with the organization in administration and took on many key roles throughout his tenure, including General Counsel and Director of Advocacy.

As the Mountain Lion Foundation has grown and evolved over the years, Fred has been a consistent and rock-steady driver of the organization through challenges and successes. He has worked tirelessly to ensure that mountain lions are not only protected but also given the resources they need to thrive, including helping to pave the way for the creation of the Annenberg Crossing in Los Angeles. He has been instrumental in the development of numerous policies aimed at safeguarding lions, and in raising awareness of the key role that mountain lions play in their ecosystems.

Fred has demonstrated how important teamwork is to the continued survival of mountain lions. Ever forward-looking, Fred has always encouraged his colleagues to harness new technologies. With his focus on using resources efficiently and effectively, he has ensured that our supporters’ contributions improved the lives of lions.

As his colleagues at the Mountain Lion Foundation, we will deeply miss Fred’s kindness and quick wit, but we are excited that his retirement will grant him more time and energy for his family. We will carry on his legacy with the same diligence and determination that he has shown. Watch for your chance to express gratitude to Fred for his leadership, dedication, and ceaseless commitment to the protection of mountain lions to come this summer.■
