- **Event Description**: Black Bear Biology Program at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Norwich

American Black Bears

Black Bears are becoming more common in the greater Central New York region. While we welcome their inclusion in our local ecosystems, there does need to be some caution involved when interacting with them. 

On Thursday evening, May 7, from 6 till 8 p.m., Mr. Tom Tasber of CCE Broome will present a program on the biology and management of black bears. The event will be held at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Center at 99 North Broad Street in Norwich.  

It was found that most people would like to see a black bear but do not necessarily want them living near their homes.  With the black bear population increasing and spreading across our area since the 1980's, sightings and encounters are more frequent.  We will examine the bear's natural history in addition to discussing ways to safely co-exist with this popular species.

Tom Tasber is a Nature Based Educator at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County with 39 years experience as a Naturalist.  This includes 27+ years with the Broome County Parks and Recreation Department at Finch Hollow Nature Center and 11 years at CCE.  His lifelong passion for wildlife, both professionally and recreationally, includes a background in Wildlife Biology-Fish and Game Management from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse. For this program, he will be assisted by CCE Chenango’s Rich Taber, Agriculture and Natural Resource Educator, and also a graduate of SUNY-ESF. 

There is no cost to attend the program, but pre-registration is encouraged. Reservations can be made at 607-334-5841, ext. 1025 or email at rbt44@cornell.edu
