Living with Black Bears

One of the good things about living in a rural state like New Hampshire is having the wilderness only a stone's throw away. But that also means learning to share the land with animals. Some New Hampshire towns are getting used to seeing Black Bears wandering around. We'll talk about ways to keep our shaggy neighbors at bay, without ruining their standard of living. Shay's guests are Ben Kilham and Andrew Timmons. Ben is a naturalist who works with Black Bears and studies their behavior. He's author of the Among The Bears: Raising Orphan Cubs in the Wild. Andrew is the bear project leader for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
