Ben Kilham of Lyme, NH will talk about his first-hand experience raising black bear cubs and observing black bears in the wild on Thursday, October 20 at 7pm at the Rockingham Library. He has been researching and living with black bears for over 20 years. He is an expert in black bear behavior, as well as rehabilitating orphaned, abandoned and injured bears and reintroducing (releasing) them to the wild. His long-term study of wild black bears has shattered conventional wisdom about how they live their lives. He is invited to lecture all over the United States and internationally. His work has been featured in countless films including National Geographic television and the Discovery channel. This program is free and open to the public. For more information, call (802) 463-4270, email programming@rockinghamlibrary.org or stop by the library at 65 Westminster St., Bellows Falls.
