August 26,2026 Charlotte Demers presents on Black Bears in the Adirondacks
The Black Bear is one of the largest mammals found in the Adirondacks, yet it is mostly inactive for up to five months of the year. Retired Wildlife Technician, Charlotte Demers, will talk about the natural history of this omnivorous mammal and the physical and behavioral characteristics of Black Bears that make them so well adapted to our northern climate.
