[MCN] Observe polar bears in the wild with the Great Bear Foundation

[Shannon Donahue]

The Great Bear Foundation has space available on both sessions of our 
fall Polar Bear Ecology Field Courses this October/November. Travel with 
us to Churchill, Manitoba to witness the peak of the Western Hudson Bay 
polar bear migration as the bears congregate near the mouth of the 
Churchill River, waiting for the first sea ice to form on Hudson Bay. 
Field courses are limited to small groups to keep the experience 
intimate, and we strive to minimize our impact on wildlife and habitat, 
while also offering a high quality experience observing arctic wildlife 
in its natural habitat.

100% of proceeds fund our bear conservation and education programs.

Session I: Intro to Polar Bear Ecology, October 30-Nov 3
An overview of polar bear ecology, conservation, and behavior, with 
lessons on photography, the Arctic, and northern cultures.

Session II: Sharing Habitat with Polar Bears, Nov 6-10
In addition to general polar bear ecology, this course focuses on how 
humans andC polar bears coexist—community responses to living with polar 
bears, how Indigenous peoples have historically coexisted with bears, 
and how we as global citizens share a planet with polar bears in rapidly 
changing times.

change.”
