The Social Black Bear by Ben Kilham

Friends of Green River Reservoir Annual Lecture:
Friday September 20th, 7:00 PM,
Green Mountain Technology and Career Center at Lamoille Union High School, Hyde Park.
Are you interested in the wildlife and natural habitat of Vermont? Are you curious about our local bears, and their interactions with each other and with us? Ben Kilham is a wildlife biologist who has been researching and living with black bears for nearly twenty five years. He has become an expert in black bear behavior, as well as in rehabilitating orphaned and injured bears and reintroducing them to the wild. He is invited to lecture all over the United States and internationally. Kilham and his work with black bears have been featured in five internationally televised documentaries, including National Geographic and Discovery Channel features,

Ben's popular lecture is based on firsthand experience raising cubs and observing black bears. It is illustrated with incredible videos and photos Ben has taken of bears. He has authored two books on bear behavior, and is well known for his up close and personal interactions with the many bear cubs he has rescued and raised to be returned to the wild.
This will be an exciting evening, and we hope that you can join us. This presentation is free and open to the public. The FGRR is a nonprofit membership group dedicated to preserving the unique habitat of Green River Reservoir State Park.
