Join Bear Smart Durango on Sunday, September 16th from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM for an informative hike in bear country in Perins Peak State Wildlife Area (SWA). Attendees should leave with a better understanding of how black bears live in the wild, the natural foods they need to survive, hiking safely in bear country, and causes and prevention of human-bear conflict.

Attendees are asked to meet at the entrance to Perins Peak SWA (gravel parking lot immediately off Lightner Creek Road) west of Durango. Carpooling is encouraged.

Space is limited, so an RSVP to Bear Specialist at sara.straub18@alumni.colostate.edu or 970-646-3566 is required.
