New Jersey Bear Trip

On Saturday, December 13th, Biology Students from Millersville University were able to help the New Jersey Division of  Fish and Wildlife with their bear check stations.  Students helped wildlife biologists take tooth samples, weight measurements and identification information from harvested black bears.  Students also learned the basis, justification and science behind sustainable harvest practices for wildlife management.  In addition, students were exposed to the Human Dimensions of wildlife biology via protest demonstrations established to end bear hunts in New Jersey.  We thank the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife and their great staff for providing us these great educational opportunities.
