Join us for an evening of bear info, beer and stories with biologist, photographer, author and outdoor educator David Moskowitz.
Join us on June 29th at the The Mountaineers Seattle Program Center at 7pm (doors open at 6pm) to enjoy beer, berries and bear stories from biologist, photographer, author and outdoor educator David Moskowitz.
David’s work as a biologist, photographer, author, and mountaineering and tracking instructor have brought him into close quarters with large mammals across the Pacific Northwest, in the U.S. and Canadian Rockies and in Alaska and central Europe.
Learn how to distinguish grizzly bears from black bears, both from animals you have seen and their tracks and signs, and the differences in behavior of these two species. We'll give you tips for using bear spray effectively, discuss how and why to use food storage lockers in campgrounds, introduce you to bear-resistant food containers, how to keep a clean campsite, and make sure you understand the regulations already in place on our public lands about food storage.
Staff from Western Wildlife Outreach, Conservation Northwest, and the North Cascades National Park will also be on hand to answer questions and provide information about living and recreating in bear country.
