Bear Smart Durango invites the general public to a gathering celebrating the release of their 2023 “Happenings” calendar. This event takes place Wednesday, January 25 from 5:30-7 p.m. at the office of San Juan Citizens Alliance, 1309 E 3rd Ave #5 in Durango. Complimentary wine will be provided, courtesy of Star Liquors.
Anne-marie will give a slideshow talk on her wildlife photography at 6 p.m. The calendar will be available for purchase at this event. Calendars may be purchased on our website, and at Maria’s Bookshop, and Backcountry Experience.
The 2023 “Happenings” calendar features the photography of Anne-marie Ferretti Mee and is intended to provide the approximate timing of happenings in nature in the greater Durango area. Some examples included in the calendar are seasonal wildlife habitat closures, when deer shed their antlers and yearling black bears leave their moms, peak elk road crossing season, and hunting dates so residents know to wear blaze orange while recreating.
