Wisconsin DNR Asking for Help in Spotting Bear Dens

Monday, February 21st, 2022 -- 8:06 AM

(Raymond Neupert, WRN) The Department of Natural Resources is asking for your help spotting bear dens this spring.

The DNR is looking for black bear dens in order to collar the animals for a new research study. They're trying to more accurately predict the reproduction rate of the bears, and the more bears they can track the better.

If you spot a bear den, don't get too close, but contact them on their website at D N R dot W I dot Gov and search for bear dens.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
