2023 Western Black Bear Workshop – Cancelled

A WAFWA Sanctioned Workshop

The Western Black Bear Workshop is held every three years by the Human-Wildlife Conflicts Committee sanctioned by WAFWA. The workshop provides a forum where leading black bear managers and researchers share research results, management strategies, and emerging issues in the realms of black bear management throughout North America.

We regret to inform you that the 2023 Western Black Bear Workshop has been cancelled. We did not have enough registrants to provide this workshop. Refunds for paid registrations and hotel reservations will be automatically submitted.

We will be providing a 2024 Black Bear Workshop – more information will be available by January 2024.
