Bear Viewing Association
BVA’s website provides information on over 100 viewing sites in North America, vendors serving each site, and tips to assure a successful viewing adventure. It has tons of information on many other aspects of wildlife viewing, wildlife conservation, bear biology, bear evolution, and Alaska’s fanatical campaign to wipe out most of the State’s bears and wolves.

Pioneering bear behaviorist Dr. Steve Stringham can introduce you to cutting edge scientific discoveries about bears, as well as insights from Native American cultures and Zen, including the ancient arts of “Walking As a Bear” and of “Bear Dreaming”.
