In fact, on 14 April 2006 this risk became a tragic fact of life when a 6 year old girl received fatal injuries from a black bear while camping. Campgrounds are now having to incorporate policies and procedures to ensure bear conservation and safety for campers. The DEC Campgrounds in the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserves in New York State are two such campgrounds. Their staff have developed specific policies and procedures to minimize the occurrence of bear problems at their campgrounds while maintaining a healthy, natural black bear population. There are eight critical ways that you can minimise the chances of getting hurt by bears by following these simple tips: 1. Avoid traditional bear feeding areas. 2. Avoid camp locations where bears have been known to roam in the past. 3. Avoid camping where you may have trouble seeing a bear through vegetation. 4. Avoid camping where you see bear droppings and fresh tracks. 5. Never feed wild bears. 6. Store your food in a cooler which is locked in the car 7.camping]]> campsites nsw]]> campsites victoria]]> campsites queensland]]> campsites Australia]]> kol campground]]> byron bay campsites]]> dog friendly campsites]]> christian]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/10-Things-You-Must-Know-When-Camping-In-Bear-Country/45239 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/10-Things-You-Must-Know-When-Camping-In-Bear-Country/45239
