The Missing Lynx Exhibition, which started travelling last spring, has already attracted more than 8,000 visitors and 800 people have filled out the questionnaire asking for views on bringing lynx back to the area.
The exhibition is interactive and aims to raise awareness about the Eurasian Lynx, a species that became extinct in Britain in medieval times due to habitat loss.
The exhibition will be open from the start of February until the end of March.
The Missing Lynx Project says a number of people have asked for the lynx to be reintroduced to the UK.
Lauren Harrison and her partner Liam, who farm on Hadrian’s Wall, are among those who support the species’ return.
Ms Harrison said: “The Eurasian lynx was part of the fauna of Britain until very recently.
“It belongs here and has an important role in the food chain.
“Lynx are beautiful and enigmatic and the thought of them living once again in our forests is incredibly exciting.”
She did however say: “The return of lynx will need the support of local communities.
“The Missing Lynx Project takes a sensitive approach, listening to concerns to minimise any negative impacts their return could have and maximise opportunities they could bring.”
Forester Chris Skelton believes The Missing Lynx Project has started a “well-informed, evidence-based and respected project”.
He said: “Its recognition of the need to listen to the voices of all stakeholders is key to its integrity.”
Farmer John Cresswell said: “After speaking to sheep farmers elsewhere in Europe who live with lynx, I do not think that their presence will seriously threaten my sheep.”
Lucy Thornton, a conservation lecturer, added: “Restoring the ecological balance by allowing lynx to control our deer population could be key to ensuring the future of Scottish woodlands both ecologically and commercially, not to mention restoring the ecological vibrancy of the region.”
