SUMMARY:Missouri Black Bears Virtual Program July 31
DESCRIPTION:Black bears have returned to the Missouri landscape\, especially in the southern parts of the state. But sightings have become a regular occurrence even in the St. Louis region. \nThe Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is offering a chance to learn all about these charismatic creatures through an online event. Missouri Black Bears is a free virtual program happening Friday\, July 31\, from 10:30 a.m. – noon. MDC naturalists will cover the most important information Missouri residents should know about the Show-Me-State’s expanding bear population. \nOnce considered extirpated from the state\, Missouri black bears are beginning to make an impressive comeback. This program will explore the history of these fascinating mammals and the research efforts happening in Missouri. It will also discuss how to reduce human-bear conflict as their numbers continue to grow. \nThis virtual program is free and open to the public; however\, each participant must register separately in advance at http://short.mdc.mo.gov/op2 to receive an online meeting link. Log-in instructions will be provided to participants beforehand. The program will be held via Webex\, and participants will have the chance to use the chat feature for a question-and-answer portion with the naturalists.
