Bears are Killing the Coast Redwoods

Black bears populations in coastal Oregon and California have been exploding. A century ago they killed off the grizzlies, which kept black bear populations in check. A few years ago both states passed laws that made it more difficult to hunt them. Since then populations have been exploding and they are killing both Redwood and Douglas fir trees. They are sabotaging the efforts some of us are doing to restore the forests.
