GREENVILLE — Darke County Parks will host an evening lecture on black bears in Ohio at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

Although a small population does exist in eastern Ohio, no black bears have been found in Darke County. However, they are still creatures of immense intrigue and curiosity. Spend an evening taking a closer look at the life history of this large mammal. What is their status in Ohio? Will they continue to move west? How likely is it to find one in Darke County? A naturalist will answer all these questions and more during this free informational session.
