The black bear workshops are lead by Lynn Rogers, Ph.D., and are designed for anyone
interested in bears. You may have seen Dr. Rogers on the Animal Planet documentary "The Man Who Walks With Bears."The courses are designed to teach you to safely learn vocalizations, body language, behavior, and ecology directly from wild bears in their wild habitat near Ely, Minnesota. The workshops also emphasize how people can better coexist with bears.
Class sizes are kept small (8 people) to maximize individual opportunities to participate in close-up black bear research. There are also daily discussions and slide presentations to amplify the information learned directly from the bears.
The Wildlife Research Institute offers eight black bear courses throughout the spring and summer; however, four of the workshops (all in August) are already closed. The cost is $1500.
For anyone who is unfamiliar with Ely, MN, I can tell you from first hand experience that this area of the country is absolutely beautiful. Ely is within the Boundary Water Canoe Area, providing perhaps the finest canoeing experience in the country, as well as within close proximity to Minnesota’s beautiful North Coast region along Lake Superior.

Hi great blog I seems this is excelent articleI want to add a little note about black bear The black bear grows to two meters long and weighs up to 215 kilograms. Its large size does not reduce its mobility. In fact, over short distances reaching speeds of 40 miles per hour and, if necessary, can climb trees. It also has a keen eye, a highly developed ear and his nose is compared to that of the hounds.
