An Intimate Look at Alaska’s Brown Bears Through the Eyes of Kevin Hughes at New Pond Farm tomorrow, Tuesday, June 7 from 7 – 8 p.m.
Redding native, Kevin Hughes, is one of the privileged few that have been allowed to spend time observing the behaviors of coastal brown bears at the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary in Alaska. Kevin’s enchantment with these magnificent creatures has led to his becoming the Sanctuary’s volunteer master carpenter.
Kevin’s knowledge and enthusiasm will come shining through as he focuses on bears in general and more specifically the bears that make their home at the Sanctuary. McNeil River is considered a crown jewel of bear viewing in Alaska. Widely accepted as the greatest seasonal concentration of coastal brown bears in the world, McNeil River is an example of what’s possible when some of the largest land carnivores and humans occupy the same space. Ultimately, it’s about how this unique place and its inhabitants have captured Kevin’s interest, inspiring his environmental stewardship through the years.
