Join Texas Parks and Wildlife Department on Saturday 21 January 2023 for one of two local outreach events centered around Living with Black Bear in West Texas. TPWD Biologists will lead discussions on the history of black bear in west Texas, define natural bear behavior and behaviors that increase the likelihood of human-bear conflict, and provide examples of how to successfully deter bears from your house, garbage, and deer feeders.  A TPWD Game Warden will also be present to answer questions about the protected status of black bear in the state and punitive consequences of taking a Threatened species. Borderlands Research Institute will provide the first public update on collared black bears in South Brewster County and the new information gained on behavior and movement patterns.  We’d love to see you there, answer questions you may have and discuss options to reduce human-bear conflict.
