Apple Picking Cancelled

Yosemite's annual apple picking event has been cancelled this year due to a relatively low number of apples. The apple picking event is held most years in order to help keep Yosemite's bears wild. The historic, ripe apples attract bears to developed areas and alter their natural diets. By removing the apples, bears return to their natural food sources found throughout the park, and typically spend less time in developed areas near the orchards.

Interesting.
