Bears are out in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and being hungry and with young, visitors should keep their distance from the bruins.

I would like to encourage the secretary of interiors to preserve bears ear national monument.  Wild, protected lands are part of what makes our country so great and unique.  It is an important legacy that my generation has enjoyed and I feel it is our charge to ensure that future generations will experiance pride and enjoyment in protected lands like this as well.  This administration would do well to understand this.
