On Tuesday, October 24, Green Mountain Club’s Bread Loaf Section and the Middlebury College Environmental Studies program will offer a fall program “Living with Bears,” presented by Vermont Fish and Wildlife Bear Technician Molly Byrne, who will help us better understand our ursine neighbors.
Molly will introduce general information about bear ecology and behavior with a focus on their life cycle and food needs. The presentation will also explore conflicts between people and bears, diving deeper into what draws them into our backyards and what we can do to prevent this from happening. Our hope is to increase this community’s understanding of bears and to help them take steps to be active stewards of this iconic species.
The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. at Twilight Hall of Middlebury College, Franklin St, Middlebury and is open to the public. Doors will open at 6:30. Admission is free, however voluntary donations will be accepted. All donations support the Green Mountain Club. Accessible parking and nearby parking is available on Franklin Street and Academy Street.
