- Item #: 347
With over 900,000 black bears roaming North America today, people from Florida to British Columbia are encountering bears more often, and as a result, human-bear conflicts are on the rise.

Topics include understanding black bears and their behavior, bear-proofing your home, safe trash stashing, hiking, camping and playing in bear country, bird feeding, gardening and farming in bear country, bear behavior modification, avoiding encounters and attacks, case studies from the U.S. and Canada, and an extensive appendix. 255 pages.
