Mondays can be un-bear-able! Hey! You got this! Don’t forget to be your best yourself, or something like that. It’s Monday. Check back with us tomorrow. For your educational moment, did you know bear cubs stay with their mothers for 2-3 years before venturing out on their own to find a job and a moderately priced den for rent? During that time, they learn important survival skills such as fishing, hunting, doing their taxes, clamming, foraging for berries, and sedge munching. Help keep this coastline wild by respecting a bear’s food sources. Do not monopolize feeding sites, or displace bears from the sedge meadows, clam beds, and prime fishing holes.
