Wildlife educator, photographer, and author Tim Rubbert presents hiking, avoidance, and encounter strategies for those recreating in bear country. 

One viewer had this to say, "Tim Rubbert puts on a fun and informative program including spectacular photographs of bears in their natural environment.  He also educates attendees on how to hike safely in bear country including information on how to recognize areas bears are likely to frequent, the appropriate noise to make in these areas so as to prevent startling a bear, what to do if a bear confrontation occurs, and a demonstration on how to use bear spray. The best parts of Tim's presentation are the great personal stories that go along with the slides and bring them to life."
