After Faith came to within 1.6 miles from a residence yesterday—the closest we’ve seen her to a residence this year—she’s back in her usual territory deep in the boonies today.

At the Bear Center, the sidewalk is being extended to the door of the Hope Learning Center Classroom. Things there are coming together nicely.
One of Ursula's cubsAt the Research Center, we and the volunteers ate well again thanks to Lily Fans. While the volunteers did the physical work today, Sue and Lynn worked on their presentation for the International Conference on Bear Research and Management September 15-20 in Provo, Utah. The actual presentation will be sometime between 8:30 and 10:30 AM on Friday, September 20.
We feel your support. Thank you for all you are doing.
