Fifteen Years Living with Grizzly BearsWow! How many people can say that? Don Halloran explains that five of those years were spent with the Canadian Wildlife Service researching bears in the Yukon Territory and ten years as a naturalist in Glacier National Park, which has the largest

concentration of bears in the lower 48 states. Don revisits his years in the Yukon, with other scientists, as they live-capture, sedate and fit bears with radio tracking collars. Additionally, blood samples were collected for testing (at the Marshfield Clinic) to assess physiological changes throughout the year. This understanding of wild bears was vital in his later work as a naturalist in Glacier National Park where he was responsible for the safety of visitors during his daily hikes. In this audio-visual presentation, participants will enjoy seeing scientists at work studying the life cycle of bears in some of the most spectacularly beautiful mountains of North America.
