Spring Emergence – Living with American Black Bears

Have you ever seen a black bear or witnessed the evidence they were nearby? Join us to learn the bare necessities of living responsibly with black bears roaming the neighborhood. Hear from a NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation Wildlife Biologist about black bears lifestyle and habitat, while learning safety tips and best practices to coexist with bears while avoiding unwanted encounters at home or on the trail. Participants will have access to educational handouts provided by CCE, NYSDEC and BearWise! Stick around after the presentation for an optional short hike to look for wildlife enhancements and bear activity with CCE!
