Discovery’s role as bear ambassadors
During construction of Dzantik’i Héeni Middle School, Discovery naturalist Steve Merli and I were asked by the City to engage teachers and students in thinking about the human-bear relationship. Over the decades since, a huge component of what DSE naturalists bring to their programs is respect and admiration for ‘old step-widener.’
Another outcome of our year-long contract with CBJ was the 42-page booklet titled About bears.
