The Bethesda Chevy Chase - Izaak Walton League and the Town of Poolesville are teaming up with The Department of Natural Resources to present a black bear public education meeting. As black bears in Maryland continue to adapt to living in closer proximity to people and human development, they learn to take advantage of human-derived food sources.

Ken D'Loughy, Central Region Manager of the Division of Wildlife and Heritage Services and Black Bear Biologist Harry Spiker are scheduled to present "Living with Black Bears" at the Bethesda Chevy Chase - Izaak Walton League Chapter House, 20601 Izaak Walton Way, Poolesville, MD on the evening of Thursday, May 14, 2015 @7:00 p.m.

This meeting is open to the public. It is designed to inform and educate folks about our Maryland black bear populations and current impacts in Western Montgomery County.
