Outside/Inbox: Do Bears Hoot?

We’ve got answers to your burning questions: a query about the impacts of wildlife smoke on bird migration; a long-smoldering family debate over whether or not bears can hoot; and, perhaps, stamping out the fire in the gas furnace heating your home. Question 1: What home heating system is best for the climate? Question 2: Is wildfire smoke impacting bird migration? Question 3: Do bears hoot? Question 4: Are farmers practicing agroforestry in New England? Do you have a question about the natural world? Submit it to the Outside/Inbox! Send a voice memo to [email protected] or call our hotline: 1-844-GO-OTTER (844-466-8837). Don’t forget to leave a number so we can call you back.
