The Wildlife Management Institute (WMI), with support from Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the Helena – Lewis & Clark National Forest (H-L&CNF), the Interagency-Agency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC), and Vital Ground is expanding grizzly bear safety education and outreach in southwest Montana. WMI recently hired Sara Sylte to work in two areas that are vital to grizzly bear conservation: the lands between the Northern Continental Divide and Yellowstone ecosystems and along the southern Rocky Mountain Front. This new position will augment ongoing outreach in occupied grizzly bear range and focus on minimizing human-bear conflict in dispersal corridors and areas being recolonized by bears.
