About the Event:
Attendees will learn about:

• Encountering bears and other wildlife in the wilderness is good; having them in the urban environment is problematic
• Strategies that could help in preventing bear removal or relocation
• What you should do if there’s wildlife (like a bear) in YOUR neighbourhood

We’ll also have a question period and discussion. Some things we look forward to discussing are:

• Some people are resistant to the idea of removing their fruit tree. Imagine you are one of these people: what could the Town, or the Biosphere Institute do, to convince you to help you decide to get rid of your tree
• How do you think we SHOULD be dealing with urban wildlife?
• Is the argument that “the wildlife was here first” a valid one?
• How can we continue to improve human wildlife coexistence? What are the barriers/opportunities?
