WNC Nature Center Needs Rotten Logs

It's that time of year when the bears are out foraging and filling up for winter. Our bears here at the Nature Center would love to have folks donate rotten stumps (the buggier the better!), 100 lbs. or less, and poplar branches with green leaves still attached.

These will aid enrichment and ease their seasonal hyperphagia (wanting to eat all the time in Fall to get calories for hibernation).They will forage up to 20 hours per day in the Fall, and these items will help keep them busy and happy.
