Spring Emergence – Living with American Black Bears

Have you ever seen a black bear or witnessed evidence that 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 the black bears' lifestyle and learn safety tips and best practices you can take 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!
