How would you handle a bear in your own front yard? Join us at our fall Wildlife Workshop & Walkabout to learn best practices for coexisting with bears and other carnivores.
At the workshop, you’ll find out about carnivore behaviors, why we’re seeing more of them in human communities, and practical tips for safely living with them.
Then, you’ll get to see the animals for yourself on our Saturday, September 22nd walkabout at the Western North Carolina Nature Center! We will introduce you to bears and other carnivores, face-to-face, to learn more about the animals, their habitats and the essential roles they play in our ecological network.
