The CT Coalition to Protect Bears formed in 2021 and is dedicated to ongoing educational outreach and legislative advocacy. Our goal is to promote proven non-lethal strategies that allow people and Connecticut’s native black bears to co-exist peacefully. The CT Coalition to Protect Bears opposes hunting of our state’s small bear population and supports humane policies for orphaned bear cubs.
