WORK BEGINS ON GRIZZLY BEAR AWARENESS PROGRAM

Posted August 15, 2008:

SCA is in the process of developing a grizzly bear awareness program with two goals:

• To provide all or a substantial part of the funds necessary to enlist bear dogs and trainers from and organization such as the Wind River Bear Institute to harass problem bears out of the area. IDFG concludes that this tool is likely to be effective in a given problem situation and has agreed to use it if funding is established.
• In cooperation with IDFG, provide education and garbage management tools to our members and others living and working in grizzly bear habitat.
