The kit arrives under a veil of mystery save for a few exterior graphics that hint at its purpose. It’s when the kit is opened that the recipient learns of his or her selection as a host for an operation known as the Community Bear Share. Packed inside is everything a novice urban bearkeeper will need to keep the peace while keeping a bear: a welcome letter with bear photo and bio, instructions, multiuse whistle, recordkeeping and poetry journal, pillowcase, and seasonal food supplies.
