Leaders of the workshop will teach participants how to adapt their leadership style based upon the characteristics of the group they are leading. Dene Berman of Lifespan Counseling Associates said," The goal of the workshop is to teach the participants to work with a variety of ages and emotional levels in an outdoor setting. Participants will be expected to simulate the role of both counselors and group members." Workshop participants will also learn strategies for handling wilderness emotional emergencies within their group. Risk management and assessment issues are other topics that will be covered.

Endangered Species: The Black Bear On the Comeback Trail by Jessica Devaney Staff Reporter The Black Bear population in North Carolina is increasing with thanks to habitat protection and better managemnet. Twenty-five years ago conservationists began to fear permanent extinction, but in 1972 600,000 acres were devoted to bear sanctuaries, or "safe areas." Today there are almost 9 million acres, statewide, bringing a population of 4,000 to 5,000 bears on the Coastal Plain alone. Surprisingly, North Carolina has the largest black bear population in the southeastern United States. North Carolina has acquired the largest program for the black bear survival in the country. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has devoted numerous acreage to the conservation and protection of the black bear, making it in itself a sanctuary for these fascinating creatures. According to Wildlife in North Carolina (January 1996), 90% of hunters have agreed with the mandatory registration of bear kills. Another issue which increases the bears chance of survival is the state law produced in 1989 making it illegal to sell bear parts such as teeth and claws. Recent studies have shown black bears to be much more adaptable to human development than believed. Unfortunately, as more bears become used to the growing human population, chances of deaths due to harvest and automobile collisions rise. During 1990-1994, 463 bears were killed by hunters avoiding the stated laws and 59 killed by automobiles. Currently the Black Bear population is steadily increasing, giving them a good chance for survival. Monitoring and studies are continuing, but the overall fate of the bears will be determined by human development and acknowledgement of these magnificent and complex creatures.
