 department of wildlife resources Black Bear Monitoring Presenter: Katherine Martin The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources describes how GPS-collaring research is helping biologists successfully place orphaned black bear cubs with wild foster mothers in the Piedmont region. The collars allow researchers to locate den sites, monitor bear movements, and gather new information about habitat use, diet, denning behavior, and reproduction as bear populations expand beyond mountain areas. For more information about the program visit the DWR's website https://dwr.virginia.gov/blog/of-bear-cubs-restless-winters-and-research/
