Have you ever seen a black bear or witnessed the evidence they were nearby? Join us at the beautiful Mountain Top Arboretum to learn the bare necessities to live responsibly with black bears roaming the neighborhood. Hear from a NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation Wildlife Technician 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!
