Bears!
Our next Nature Connections is all about bears! Have you ever wondered about the bear population of North America? Did you know that North America has almost 40% of all the bear diversity in the world? At this event we will be exploring everything about bears. There will be a special presentation be the NHSM’s mammal curator Steve Sheffield. We will also explore bears through a variety of engaging crafts and games.
