Wisconsin Black Bear Education Center

Helping the bears

The privately-owned and operated Center is a not-for-profit association that seeks to help bears by:

  • Dispelling the myths and misconceptions that have led to the widespread, unnecessary persecution of bears.
  • Reducing human/bear conflict through education.
  • Providing positive educational and research opportunities.
  • Improving the lives of bears in captivity by serving as a high quality role model for bear housing and husbandry.
