Mission
The American Bear Association is dedicated to promoting a better understanding of the black bear and all wildlife through education, observation and experience. Our objectives are 1) to protect, conserve and restore wildlife habitat within the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary, 2) to educate the public about black bears, their habitat, and all natural resources, and 3) to encourage non-invasive research about black bears.
About Us

It is a place where wild black bears have been coming for nearly fifty years and is the best place in North America to observe and photograph wild black bears. The visiting public can view and learn about the black bears in their natural habitat.
