Even for those who have been living in the Catskill Mountain region for years, sightings of black bears are still exciting, but not always that common. But one thing that I’ve learned about living in this area of Ulster County, N.Y. is that the bear population is healthy and thriving, and it seems like it will stay that way for at least the next few years.
