Living with bears starts with prevention. 🐻
Grand Teton National Park is home to healthy populations of both black and grizzly bears, and protecting them often comes down to the choices we make while sharing their habitat.
That’s where the Wildlife Brigade comes in. This volunteer force helps manage wildlife jams, checks for unsecured food and other attractants, and educates visitors on how to recreate safely in bear country.
Bear-resistant food storage, proper food and garbage management, and giving wildlife plenty of space can all help prevent conflicts before they happen.
Our partners at GTNP Foundation help fund critical bear conservation efforts like these, supporting the people, tools, and programs working to keep both bears and visitors safe.
A little awareness goes a long way. Store your food properly, keep your distance, and know before you go. 🏔️🐻
