Join the Greater Yellowstone Coalition online for a presentation on grizzly bear conflict prevention work in Greater Yellowstone.

There’s a saying out here in Greater Yellowstone: “A fed bear is a dead bear.” Once a grizzly bear becomes habituated to a human food source, they’ll likely get into trouble and have to be lethally removed. Preventing conflicts with people is one of the most important and straightforward missions to ensure grizzlies thrive on this remarkable landscape long into the future. 

Luckily, there are many projects that the Greater Yellowstone Coalition is spearheading to keep bears wild, people safe, and livelihoods (and trashcans!) intact. 

GYC uses a wide variety of tools to prevent conflict, build social tolerance, and make living with bears possible, including support range riding programs, installing bear-proof storage bins in campgrounds and beyond, and educating locals on how they can keep bears out of trouble on their property. Join GYC’s The Volgenau Foundation Wildlife Conservation Associate Blakeley Adkins and Montana Conservation Associate Erin Steva to learn more about their on-the-ground conflict prevention work and how you support this crucial conservation work.
