Our Projects

Lake City Community School Visit

April 2018

Our fifth annual school visit is being planned for sometime in April. We enjoy presenting to the students new and interesting presentations each year! Parents are always welcome to attend the presentations.

Wildlife Cams

Ongoing

Three trail cams have been placed in the forests high above Lake City. We'll be posting the best of the videos and photos of all the wildlife, not just bears!

Oscar the Bear

In 2013 Oscar ran the 10k and raised $422. In 2014 Oscar walked the 5k, and came in first place in the male mammal category. He also raised $500 in donations!

Thank you once again to Carol Robinson for her wonderful race day photos. More photos and finish time are here:

Bear Day in the Armory

July 1, 2018

Join us for a day filled with fun, education, and yes, black bears! Not live ones of course, because bears belong in the forests.

Silent Auction

Please consider donating art or an item for our silent auction to be held at the Bear Day in the Park event.

Many different items to bid on. Bear books, art, wildlife quilt from Mary Ann Flynn, and much more!

For the latest information follow us on our facebook page.

Electric Shock Mat - Bear Deterrent

Highly effective in deterring bears, and endorsed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Cost is less than $200 for a 4'x6' mat. All parts can be purchased at Tractor Supply in Gunnison.

Our shock mat will be used at bear hotspots for 2 week intervals. A waiver releasing liability must be signed.

With generous donations we were able to purchase 95 and 64 gallon all metal Bear Proof trash carts to establish our container lease program!

The carts are available for lease for $40 a year. A contract must be signed and your payments go towards the purchase of the cart. We also sell the carts at cost + taxes, $345. Please contact us for more information.
