Fam. Kastner from St.Pölten supplied the bears since 2001 with nuts. Since there are no walnut trees at Arbesbach, we have to take these valuable treats, which the bears need for the winter season, from outside. Over the years so many hundreds of kilograms of nuts were transported to Arbesbach. Thank you very much!
In the veterinary practice of Mathilde Buchmayer from Ernstbrunn donations are collected for our bears. On August 23, 2015, Fam. Buchmayer personally brought 2 big bags of carrots, a big bucket honey and a donation money of more than EUR 300, - to the BEAR SANCTUARY! Many many thanks!
The bears were generously provided with grapes and nuts by the nice Fam. Glatzenberger from Dürnstein.
We would like to thank the generous bear friends of the dog "Amigo" for their support !!!
Grapes are next to nuts the most popular food just before the winter.
Thanks to Mrs. Raphaela Ch. Müller for the generous money donation in August 2010. At her graduation party, she waived gifts. For this there was a donation box, which the guests with 700 EUR fed. Now the bears are already eagerly discussing on how to invest their money: shares in renewable energy sources, honey to the dismay. Thanks!
The Mairingers are loyal bear forest supporters with a large quantity of nuts. All nuts come from "wild" walnut trees. Speak of those who do not belong to anyone and stand on embankments, railway stations ... and are not "gathered". In many weeks of small work, a large amount was collected with the help of family dog Nikita. Thank you!
Our Mistelbacher friends Myriam and Susi have already passed a huge load of apples, carrots and treats for the bears (and cakes for the staff :-))! Many many thanks! You have been loyal supporters for many years!
