SUMMARY:"Black Bears" a presentation w/ Ginny Apple  POSTPONED DUE TO IMPENDING STORM
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER CONCERNS. WE 
 WILL RESCHEDULE FOR A DATE IN THE SPRING. CHECK BACK FOR DETAILS SOON. WE 
 APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. \n\nJoin Master Wildlife Conservationist 
 Ginny Apple as she speaks 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 black bear 
 artifacts and practical recommendations for optimum co-existence with our 
 black bear population. \n\nA move to the middle of the woods in Barkhamsted 
 20 years ago brought Ginny into an environment filled with bears and other 
 wildlife. Living in a house surrounded by the People's State Forest\, she 
 observed a large population of Black Bears and supplied field notes and 
 photographs of 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.\n\nHer focused 
 expertise is on Bears\, Bobcats\, Bald Eagles\, Beavers\, Coyotes\, 
 Fisher\, Moose\, Wild Turkeys\, Owls\, and numerous other wildlife species 
 that call Connecticut home\, as well as volunteering on numerous wildlife 
 projects.\n\nShe is Chair of the Barkhamsted Conservation Commission and 
 also on the Boards of the Farmington River Watershed Association\, 
 People’s State Forests (FALPS)\, the Litchfield Hills Audubon Society\, 
 and the Friends of Connecticut State Parks.
