Recolonizing Black Bears in the Beaver Hills Biosphere

Speaker: Sandra MacDougall
When: November 28, 2024 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Where: Kerry Wood Nature Centre, 6300 45 Ave, Red Deer, AB T4N 3M4, in the Theatre room.

Over the past several years, the black bear population has been steadily increasing in Elk Island National Park and the surrounding Beaver Hills Biosphere. Bears were once a common resident of the area and are now returning to their previously occupied landscapes which are now highly modified. Sandra will summarize her study about the feeding ecology of this bear population and will offer considerations for human-wildlife coexistence.
