The Bear Essentials
What is a bear? Where do bears live around the world? Could they be living in your neighborhood? We’ll look at the major bear species of the world in general and then focus on our own Florida Black Bear. This bear is our state's largest mammal and, sadly, is on Florida's threatened species list.
Through a variety of activities including crafts and a game, we will learn bear anatomy and physiology, behavior, seasonal activities and movement, life cycles, habitat requirements, and limiting factors. We’ll see bear skulls, claws, tracks, fur, scat (What's that?), and more as well as learn ecological concepts to help us understand how our actions impact the Florida Black Bear’s survival. Learn to “Be Bear Aware.”

Bill and Merilee Clifton, creationists, authors, Florida Master Naturalists, and science educators will help your group learn about the wonderfully designed world all around us. The Cliftons will personally lead your group in each workshop providing a unique and fascinating perspective of God’s great design in Creation.
