BLACK BEAR RESEARCH PROJECT IN OHIO Black bears were once a common occurrence in Ohio. In the late 1800’s loss of habitat and unregulated harvest led to them being eliminated from Ohio. In recent years bear sights have become commonplace. Today we interview ODNR Wildlife Biologist, Katie Dennison. Katie gives us the basics on Bear biology and facts on preferred habitat. We get into the research project and how she and her team are conducting the study. It’s early in the study but Katie provides us with some fascinating findings thus far. If you are interested in the great outdoors this podcast is for you.
