If you’re interested in working with animals, Bears and Berries is for you! This sanctuary works with 20 rescued brown bears and provides each bear with proper care, adequate diets, veterinary treatments, and enrichment.
Participants will work on collecting and processing information about plant species around the sanctuary, finding the effect of these plant species on wildlife, participating in workshops, and preparing ways to educate the sanctuary’s visitors. In addition, participants will be able to interact with the bears by monitoring them and helping the animal caretakers with daily tasks such as preparing food for the bears and creating animal enrichments.
