Mid-Atlantic Black Bear Biology and Management

A joint program of The Institute and the Antietam Watershed Association

Presented by Brian Eyler, wildlife biologist with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife & Heritage Service.

Black bears are a common resident in the mountains that surround the Cumberland Valley and Antietam Watershed. This once-rare species in the area is expanding its range due to successful conservation efforts.

During this program, you will learn about the biology and status of black bears in the mid-Atlantic region and how the Maryland Department of Natural Resources manages this charismatic species and the challenges they can present.

Admission is free.

This program is underwritten in part by Marge Kiersz, Lucinda D. Potter, CPA, and SEK CPAs & Advisors.

Additional support from The Institute’s Today’s Horizon Fund contributors: The Nora Roberts Foundation; Alma W. Oyer; and the Carolyn Terry Eddy Family: Carolyn, with daughters Connie Fleagle & Kim Larkin.
