Join us as we discover the world of North America’s most numerous and widely spread bear species, the American Black Bear. Naturalist Tim Lee will discuss the natural history of Black Bears, including their range, behavior, and the adaptations that help the American Black Bear survive in its forest habitat. Children and adults are welcome and there is no charge for the event.
