Prospect Land Trust Presents “Black Bears in Connecticut”
The Prospect Land Trust has arranged to have Paul
Colburn give a presentation on bears at the Prospect Firehouse on
November 20 at 7:30 PM.
Black bears occur throughout much of the state of Connecticut.
Paul is a renowned “Bears in Connecticut” expert.
Each year, bear sightings are reported in approximately 140
of the state's 169 towns. Over 6,000 sightings were reported in
2016. Connecticut has a healthy and increasing bear
population, with the highest concentration in the northwest region of the
state.
The “Black Bears in Connecticut” presentation focuses on the
natural history of black bears in Connecticut, an overview of black bear
habitat, diet, behavior, reproduction and current research efforts. It also
provides practical recommendations for optimum coexistence with our black bear
population.
