Be Prepared for Adventures in
Bear Country
|
|
|
|
Black Bears are growing in number across the Missouri Ozarks. Taking proper precautions in bear country is a must.
|
Across the Ozarks, black bears are growing in number. This incredible conservation story is one we should all be proud of. Black bears are incredible creatures that belong on our landscape. But as their populations expand, we must recognize the necessity of taking precaution in bear country to ensure the safety of those venturing outdoors, while doing our part to ensure their welcomed restoration and survival of a native Missouri species.
If you are planning to camp in the Missouri Ozarks this year, you're headed to bear country. Now, with only an estimated 300 or so bears in the state, your chances of coming in contact with one are very slim. Yet, you still need to be prepared and take precautions. Being responsible in the wilderness isn't something you should do, it's something you have to do.
