Black Bear Study Resulted in the Emplacement of Bear Signs in North Georgia

Be Bear Wise Project in North Georgia

In cooperation with our partners, the Georgia DNR, GDOT, and the Gilmer County Sheriff’s Department, we completed a study of Black Bear road-kills in Georgia and specifically, Georgia Highway 515 between Ellijay and Blue Ridge.  As a result, our study was validated and GDOT emplaced the first Bear Crossing signs in North Georgia.
