Special Feature:

Our team is honored and pleased to have obtained permission from Bill Lea, well-known wildlife photographer, to use his pictures of bears on our site. We first saw his photos when we visited the Cradle of Forestry and were amazed! With much help from Cindy Carpenter, Education Coordinator at the Cradle, we made contact with Mr. Lea. We are grateful to him and the staff at the Cradle of Forestry for all their help and use of educational materials. Please visit this site and enjoy the Bears of the forest!

The American Bear Association : Here you will find photo galleries, teacher lesson plans, bear facts, and just about everything you want to know!
