Black bears thrive in Shenandoah Park amid threats
In Shenandoah National Park black bears roam edge habitats as poaching and gypsy moth defoliation threaten food supplies. Researchers led by Rick Potts note 400 to 600 bears in the region with drought and market hunting adding pressure. Dennis Martin reports state harvests rose to 625 last year, suggesting a relatively stable population despite challenges.
