ABR education volunteers have been visiting area schools, giving classes an opportunity to “Adopt a Cub” and learn about bears.   Those classes that participated received a photo of one of the ABR cubs and an adoption certificate.  The children were able to name their cub. 

They helped ABR by collecting acorns and hickory nuts and /or coins to help feed the cubs currently housed at the facility.  Here are photos taken at some of the schools.
