Canada geese and black bears are the fauna of the week at the state Department of Environmental Conservation, according to a couple of announcements.
First up, are the feathered folks. The DEC in November will hold two workshops on resolving Canada geese conflicts in the Hudson Valley.
As for bears, hunters have two extra days this year to hunt them in the Catskills. That’s part of an effort, the DEC says to stabilize an expanding population. No word on whether no action now will result in geese-like numbers for the bears . . .
