Bear population continues to expand across Minnesota

When a black bear is spotted outside of its primary range in the northern third of the Minnesota – as has been the case recently in St. Cloud and locations south of the Twin Cities – the DNR’s state bear project leader, Andy Tri, generally hears about it.
Area DNR managers and others in the agency will alert him to the sightings.
