This hands-on workshop will introduce you to black bear biology, research trapping efforts, & management practices, as well as resources though Project WILD for your classroom to meet PA STEELS standards.

This workshop is open to classroom teachers and non-formal educators such as pre-service teachers, homeschool parents, naturalists, and scout leaders. Project WILD's K-12 Curriculum & Activity Guide will be provided to all participants. Six (6) Act 48 hours are available to educators holding Pennsylvania public school certifications.

    I will need accommodation in order to participate in this program. I recognize that if an ASL interpreter is needed, I will need to register 5 days or more in advance of the event so that the park can secure an interpreter for me.

    I will notify Lackawanna State Park if my plans change.
