Signs of Spring

A mother black bear gives birth to one to four cubs in the winter, and they will emerge together from den in April or May. Curbs start practicing climbing trees as soon as they are strong enough, which is important because they are not fast enough to outrun predators. Black bears are most active at dawn and dusk, but can sometimes be seen mid-day. Look for them in open spaces within or near forested areas.
