Did you know Black Bears are Alabama’s State Mammal? Black bears are native to Alabama and their population is on the rise. Historically found in the southwest area of the state, bears have also been migrating into northeast Alabama from northwest Georgia over recent years. Following in their wake are myths, tall tales, and misconceptions. Join Auburn University Research Associate Hannah Leeper to learn more about bears, what we can we do to prevent bears from becoming a nuisance and hear about current black bear research happening in Alabama.

Seating is limited, so bring your own comfortable camp chair if you wish.
