Holiday In Wales Trenton, NJ In light of the black bear hunt scheduled for December, 2003, and the controversy surrounding population estimates for New Jerseys black bear population, the New Jersey Chapter of the Sierra Club has recently reviewed and critiqued New Jerseys Black Bear Management Program. The Chapters report contains recommendations for the effective management of nuisance incidents, as well as proposals for the long-term preservation of the New Jersey black bear population.
The Sierran Seniors held their 2nd meeting on Sat., May 8 at East Windsor Public Library. Discussion involved upcoming plans for outings and topics for future meetings. The group hopes to awaken interest in Senior participation in letter writing campaigns, in social outings, and in increasing membership in a dynamic group component of NJ Sierra Club. For further information, contact Nancy Carringer (ncarringer@yahoo.com) or Richard Isaac (risaacx@aol.com).
Holiday Wales It is the Chapters position that the only effective method to reduce human-bear nuisance incidents is the elimination of the human-associated forage base (garbage and other attractants). There is no data from any black bear state to support the contention that a recreational hunt will ensure public safety. Public safety can only be ensured with the elimination of nuisance behavior, and no hunt can preferentially eliminate nuisance bears. Therefore, the public should be led to understand that public safety can only be ensured through essentially bear-proofing bear country. The bear feeding ban must also be aggressively enforced.

Cottage Holiday In Wales It is the Chapters position that, in this era of rapidly dwindling natural areas in the State of New Jersey, it is imperative to establish and preserve core bear habitat and migratory corridors, both intra- and interstate. Focusing only on our recent increases in the black bear population is shortsighted. Future viability of the black bear population requires identification and preservation of key areas now, especially areas that may not currently be completely protected from future development.

Caravan Holiday In Wales There is much controversy surrounding the Division of Fish, Game, and Wildlifes black bear population estimate, which is the basis for the number of hunt permits to be provided for the December 2003 recreational bear hunt. The independent peer review panel convened by Commissioner Campbell in February 2003 could not reach consensus on whether the Divisions population estimates were reliable or not. For credibility, the peer review panel and the Division should reach a mutually acceptable estimate. In order to achieve a sustainable hunt, a conservative approach is necessary in light of the uncertainties. For these reasons, the Chapter is opposed to the December 2003 black bear hunt, as currently planned.
Dozens of wildlife advocates gathered at the State House yesterday to urge legislators to pull the plug on a black bear hunt scheduled for December. year moratorium on black bear hunting will be heard next week in the state Senate Environment Committee. Members of the Sierra Club, Humane Society, Animal Rights Alliance, Bear Education And Resource (BEAR) Group and others sympathetic to the cause of New Jersey's largest predators joined forces to send a clear message to legislators.

The Sierra Club, and the state Department of Environment Protection have already said, though, that the pinelands would be a suitable natural habitat for the bears. The resolution was placed on the agenda for the freeholders' meeting next week. The issue of relocating black bears to southern New Jersey is not new, having actually been included by the state in its list of options for bear control in 1997. It has risen to the fore, however, related incidents in northern New Jersey.
