The human/bear relationship is deeply interesting to me. I have lived and worked in many communities across the state that have a very high level of contact between the two species, but I have never encountered anything quite like what unfolds here. This summer I will be working on a short film about the landscape of human/bear interaction in and around Haines. Throughout the next few months please feel free to contact me with stories you want to share, both positive and negative encounters. My intention is to frame the issue holistically and I would love to hear from folks of all perspectives and backgrounds. There are important lessons folded within our shared experience of living in such intimate proximity with the natural world. Reach out if you want to tell your story. My phone number is 907-231-5173. My email address is [email protected]. Thanks!
