Who We Are

People learn more easily, and take action faster, when the message is delivered in a fun, inviting, meaningful, engaging and clear manner.

We’re serious about our family fun on behalf of conservation + coexistence with our wildlife and pollinators. Through inspiring edutainment, we hope to raise awareness, promote effective, positive, powerful personal and community action and build support for wildlife conservation on both private and legislative levels. Our goal is start local and then expand far and wide.

Everyone we reach has the potential to be a catalyst for good. And every effort each person makes matters. Bit by bit, we can create communities that live in harmony with wildlife, protecting their future and ours. After all, what’s good for wildlife is ultimately good for us, as our well-being is intimately tied to theirs.

Activists

Bears Bees and Brews was created by activists who believe that education and compassion can motivate real change. We have a deep love for the wildlife, forests, mountains, and rivers of Asheville and WNC, and the desire to share step-by-step ways for individuals and communities to help sustain them, starting at a local level.

Community | Organizations

The support of the community has allowed us to bring this project to life. Businesses and organizations share our belief in the power of creative edutainment. Engaging with scientists, experts, and policy makers in fun places can create positive change. We are so grateful for our community support, and invite the participation and sponsorship of your own business or organization!

Volunteers
