Adirondack Black Bears

Celebrate Earth Day all Month!

The Black Bear is one of the largest mammals found in the Adirondacks, yet it is mostly inactive for up to five months of the year. Wildlife technician Charlotte Demers will talk about the natural history of this omnivorous mammal and the physical and behavioral characteristics of Black Bears that make them so well adapted to our northern climate.  

Charlotte Demers has spent more than 35 years working as a research technician at the SUNY ESF Newcomb Campus. She has worked with North American Beavers, Black Bears, White-tailed Deer, small mammals, game birds and songbirds as well as investigating the habitat requirements of these species. Pre-registration is not needed.  

This event is co-sponsored by SAAS and the Glens Falls-Saratoga Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club.  

Please note, the previously scheduled talk Timber Rattlesnakes – How They Live, What They Do with William S. Brown has been rescheduled for November 2025.
