On Saturday, February 15 at 10 a.m., come to the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum’s Outdoor Discovery Center, on Muser Drive, across from 174 Angola Road, Cornwall to learn about Orange County’s largest mammal the Black Bear. While human populations have been increasing, bear populations have also been expanding. Spend the morning with environmental educator Megan Hoffman learning about the Black Bears that share our landscape. “The American Black Bear is not the ferocious animal that the media make it out to be,” says Megan. “In-fact, the black bear’s diet mainly consists of fruit, nuts, grasses and insects!” Discussions will include: how to avoid bear conflicts, hibernation, bear biology and anatomy using bear skulls and pelts. This program is for adults with or without children and children ages 5 and older. Admission: $7/Adults - $5/Children. Museum Members: $5/Adults - $3/Children. For information gohhnaturemuseum.org or call (845) 534-5506, ext 204.
