Black bear den work with the NJDEP Fish & Wildlife team this week. Kept these 2+mo old cubs safe and warm while our wildlife biologists checked in on mom as part of the NJ’s Black Bear Research & Management Project.
NJ’s black bear population is strong & healthy thanks to @newjerseydep.bsky.social!
