Living with Bears in the North Country…

Register here.

Be prepared for lots of fascinating information on black bear biology and ecology, with emphasis on the field identification of tracks and sign. Sue is very excited about this show because it offers the most comprehensive discussion of bear scent-marking behaviors, illustrated with dozens of her original images. As for living in harmony with black bears, it’s entirely up to us, as this program will solidly demonstrate. “Bear safety” is achieved largely because of what we do out there, whether it be in the wild or around our home and farmyard. It is more about what we can do to minimize the hazards we pose to bears. As a bonus we will also explore Sue’s adventures studying and photographing grizzly, brown, and polar bears.

Co-hosted with Mad River Valley Bear Initiative. For more information on the MRV Bear Initiative and resources on living with bears, click here.
