The Wildlife Heritage Foundation of NH, the official non-profit partner of NH Fish and Game Department, hosted NH’s own acclaimed bear rescuer and rehabilitator Ben Kilham at a special presentation at the Red River Theatre in Concord, NH on January 15th, 2014. Mr. Kilham has been studying bears for more than 20 years, and is the only licensed bear rehabilitator in NH. The subject of numerous documentaries on his work, he is also the author of two books: Out On a Limb – What Black Bears Have Taught Me About Intelligence and Intuition and Among the Bears – Raising Orphaned Cubs in the Wild.
Mr. Kilham’s rescue program, located in Lyme, NH, was the recipient of a 2012 grant from the Foundation, which raises funds in support of NH Fish and Game’s critical educational, conservation and wildlife programs important to New Hampshire’s quality of outdoor life.
