Many positive benefits to overall land stewardship can be gained from managing
habitats for black bears. Forest and agricultural practices that benefit bears
also benefit many other wildlife species. Most of the practices described as
beneficial for bears coincide with Best Management Practices (BMP) for forestry
and soil conservation practices for agriculture.
Practices that promote black bear habitat are outlined throughout the following
section. Landowners whose management objectives include timber, wildlife, or
agriculture, and who desire to enhance their lands for bears can incorporate the
following guidelines into their individual management strategies.
