Black Bears in Connecticut

Black Bears in Connecticut
Saturday, June 7th at 11:00 a.m.

Join the Sherman Library as Master Wildlife Conservationist Ginny Apple presents “Black Bears in Connecticut”, an illustrated talk at the Sherman Library on Saturday, June 7th at 11:00am.

The presentation focuses on the natural history of black bears in Connecticut, an overview of their habitat, diet, behavior, reproduction and current research efforts. Ginny Apple will provide practical recommendations for optimum co-existence with our black bear population. Black bear artifacts will be shared with the audience as well.

Presenter Ginny Apple’s move to the middle of the woods in Barkhamsted over 18 years ago brought her into an environment filled with bears and other wildlife. Living in a house surrounded by the Peoples State Forest, she observes a large population of black bears and supplies field notes and photographs on them to DEEP bear biologists. Her affinity for this magnificent creature led her out west to participate in a grizzly research mission in Montana and to become a Master Wildlife Conservationist with the State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
