MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Help the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with black bear research.
The agency is asking the public to submit information about the location of black bear dens found across the state. The Black Bear Litter and Diet Survey will help produce new estimates of reproductive rates within each bear management zone, and better specify population models used to manage them.
If you locate a den, you’re asked to provide a photo and description of the den and its surrounding area, and describe bear activity near the site.
Keeping approximately 30 yards away from the den is advised for safety.
