Hernando Audubon Meeting about Florida Black Bears

At the Hernando Audubon Society meeting, Mike Orlando will talk about Florida Black Bears. The population recovery of the Florida Black Bear is a success story. The bear population has increased to over 4,000 statewide, up from around 300-500 in the 1960s and 1970s. However, more bears and more people on the landscape lead to human-bear conflicts. What can people learn about bears and securing attractants to reduce these conflicts? Information: Bev Hansen, 352-686-0460, bevalhansen@gmail.com
