N. Georgia Black Bear Sign ProjectIn 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.
