The College of New Caledonia wants bear poop…This is their reasoning on their website:
Urban bears in Prince George are dropping clues, and the CNC Research Forest team needs your help scooping them up!
Bear poop might not seem like much more than a stinky bunch, but it holds a wealth of information about the bear’s health, diet, and hormones. By analyzing feces samples from across the city, CNC researchers hope to gain insight into the health and behaviour of urban bear populations versus their counterparts that live outside of Prince George.
Not kidding. CNC Research Forest + Northern Bear Awareness Society (NBAS) want your bear droppings – for science!
