Help Boulder Become Bear Aware!
Join CU WILD, Sinapu, Sierra Club and In Defense of Animals in a community
service project to raise Boulder's bear awareness. We will be teaming up and
patrolling western Boulder neighborhoods in the evenings looking for potential
bear attractants and educating citizens in ways to keep bears and people safe.
Fun, easy and a great way to meet new people. Good for community service hours.
