Monthly Program: "Bears in New Jersey"

Black bears have been sighted in all 21 NJ counties; do you know what to do if you encounter a bear in the wild? You are invited to attend this program given by NJDEP Fish and Wildlife, which provides an overview of the natural history and biology of bears in the Garden State.

Our presenter Stephanie Getto will describe NJ Fish and Wildlife’s extensive black bear research program, as well as how the state manages complaints from residents regarding bears. Learn practical information as well as tips for coexisting with bears so they do not become a nuisance in the neighborhood.

This event is free and open to the public.
