Black Bears in the usa

Minnesota

Minnesota uses strategies of black management that CEI is very interested in. To decrease human-bear conflict, they use feeding sites that are located away from human settlements to keep bears as far away from people as possible. To keep not only people, but the bears safe as well. Especially during hard years when food is scarce, or during the fall when bears are single minded in their search for food. Check out their video to see what they do! Maybe this method could be applied to the management of Alberta black bears.
