Is it me? Am I the drama?? 🤔 Everyone loves some good tea. Like for example, if you saw your neighbor leave their kids in a tree and they just left a note saying “running errands, tree = babysitter” we’re certain this would call for breaking news on Nextdoor. So, while trees might not make for the best babysitters for human kids, they are fantastic babysitters for black bear cubs. The mother bear first finds a sturdy tree for her cubs, which gives them a place to climb in case of danger while their mother looks for food within a several-mile radius. The cubs will alert if they are in trouble so momma bear can come to their rescue. 🌲🥹 Here at TWS, we love trees and black bears, and we want to continue protecting their home and ensuring they have all the babysitter trees. Black bears are currently being affected by climate change, which could force them to relocate—increasing the likelihood of encountering obstacles like roadways and power lines. But there is a solution: connecting protected lands across the country to provide wildlife the opportunity to move safely between them. These migration corridors will remove obstacles, set up wildlife crossings such as under- and overpasses across roadways and could make a difference for species like black bears to thrive and adapt to a changing climate.
