Everything You wanted to Know About Black Bears in CT

Join Master Wildlife Conservationist Ginny Apple as she talks about black bears, focusing on their natural history in Connecticut, an overview of their habitat, diet, behavior, reproduction, and current research efforts. She also provides practical recommendations for optimum co-existence with our black bear population. She will also bring black bear artifacts to share with the audience. Ginny, newly appointed board member of LHAS, is familiar to us from many wonderful presentations on the wildlife of Connecticut. Living in a house surrounded by People's State Forest, she has supplied a wealth of field notes and photographs to the DEEP on bears and other wildlife. Ginny is chair of the Barkhamsted Conservation Commission and on the boards of several like-minded organizations, including Friends of American Legion and People's State Forests and Friends of Connecticut State Parks.
