Kenai Conversation: Bears find safe distance at McNeil Sanctuary

Jeff Fair is an Alaska field biologist and author of, “In Wild Trust,” about the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary. It’s the story of the development of the sanctuary and of Larry Aumiller, who spent 30 years at McNeil as its first manager, sharing his insights into bear and human behavior that created the guidelines for bear viewing at McNeil. Fair talked about his time at McNeil and his recollections of Aumiller during a Wildlife Wednesday presentation, put on by the Alaska Wildlife Alliance.
