Following up on the ‘Earth Day’ Thank you for what we all have done and are doing for bears.
On another note, a third bear has been identified in the study area. It is 3-year-old Bertha, sister of Bentley who she was with yesterday. Both are just as calm as they can be, probably glad to be back in the peaceful swing of things.
I am sorry to report that the LilyPad Picnic is off for this year due to situations beyond anyone’s control, but Whimzy’s team is on for next year with plans for an extraordinarily memorable event that I am looking forward to.

Lilypad Picnic 2025 Update
Hello friends,
We’re very sad to share that the 2025 Lilypad Picnic will not be taking place. With changing economic challenges facing many of our guests in both the U.S. and Canada, along with scheduling conflicts for some of our committee, we’ve made the difficult decision to take a pause (paws) this year.
That said, the Northwoods Bear Foundation is hopeful and excited to plan for a wonderful picnic in 2026! In the meantime, we encourage everyone who can to come enjoy Ely this summer—take in the beauty, explore the many outdoor activities, and don’t miss a visit to the NABC to see Dr. Rogers and the incredible bears we love.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
The Northwoods Bear Foundation
