Information

Want to learn how to co-exist safely with bears? Want to know more about black bears in North Carolina? Staff with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will discuss the natural history of black bears in western North Carolina and how you can use that information to safely coexist with these North Carolina treasures. This program is geared towards older children and adults and is about 1-hour long. 

Among the topics covered will be: 

  • The new BearWise initiative, which provides ways to prevent conflicts, provides resources to resolve problems, and encourages community initiatives to keep bears wild.  
  • The next phase of the Urban-Suburban Bear Study (study area located in Asheville, NC).
