Dive into the natural history of black bears at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, at the Reuter Center at the University of North Carolina Asheville. 

Ashley Hobbs, a bear biologist with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, will discuss black bear biology, behavior, what to do in a bear encounter and how to safely coexist with these Western North Carolina treasures.  

The talk is offered as part of the WNC Sierra Club’s regular monthly meeting, available both in person and on Zoom. To attend virtually, register at wncsierraclub.org.
