Black bears capture human admiration and interest like few other wildlife species. We all share the responsibility in preventing problems and keeping bears wild. Join us at Douthat State Park for an engaging and informative program titled "Living with Black Bears in Virginia," presented by volunteer Virginia Master Naturalist, Kim Manion. During this session, participants will learn essential tips and best practices for camping and living in areas where black bears are present. Kim Manion will share valuable insights on preventing problems, understanding bear behavior, and taking proactive measures to keep bears wild and communities safe. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a local resident, or simply curious about black bears, this program is a must-attend event to deepen your knowledge and appreciation for Virginia's wildlife.
