The Dubois County Free Press reports, Jeff, Bob, and Screech have been featured on a six-part documentary on Animal Planet called Project Grizzly as well as Discovery Channel's Porter Ridge.

Jeff has been looking for a long-term location for him and his bears for a while. When driving through Southern Indiana, he saw a Wilstem billboard. After much research and face to face interaction, Jeff knew that Wilstem was the perfect spot to share his love for his bears and educate people on bear safety.
