Navarre Bear Day June 28 For immediate release: June 19, 2008 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the Wildlife Foundation of Florida will host Bear Day in Navarre on June 28 from noon to 3 p.m. at Pavilion B in Navarre Park. Local residents are invited to learn about coexisting with black bears. "Biologists will be on hand to answer questions about bears and can suggest tools to reduce problems and increase enjoyment of local wildlife," said Jessica Tice, an environmental scientist with the FWC's Bear Management Program. Activities include a demonstration on how to retrofit a trash can to be bear-resistant. A representative from Waste Management will be on hand to talk to residents about their service needs. Additionally, free bear-resistant containers will be available to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis. Drinks and snacks will be provided, as well as activities and crafts for kids to learn how to make a plaster cast of an animal track, touch a real bear hide and other activities. For more information, e-mail Jessica.Tice@MyFWC.com or call 850-922-4330. |
