Be Bear Aware Preventing human/bear conflict through education Each year, inappropriate human behavior leads to bear attacks. Wildlife + Distance = Safety for people and bears

Incidents like these can result in serious injury or death and often force wildlife officials to euthanize the bear. These tragedies can be prevented, however, by following basic safety precautions when living or recreating in bear country. The Be Bear Aware Campaign aims to decrease bear/human conflicts by educating the public and providing up-to-date bear safety information. The center offers brochures, pamphlets, large-scale displays, educational kits, coloring books and more detailing bear safety information. Community groups may also arrange for a visit from the Be Bear Aware Campaign’s education trailer, which provides a wide range of educational materials and demonstrations, and includes full body mounts of both a grizzly bear and a black bear so people can see the differences up close. For more information visit our website at bebearaware.org. And remember, when visiting bear country you are responsible for your own safety and the safety of the bears!

The Be Bear Aware Campaign needs someone to maintain our website, bebearaware.org, and monitor other social medias. We would prefer someone in the Missoula area to monitor these sites, make minor updates, and retrieve the website from the current host. As a volunteer run organization, we have limited funds. The work should be minimal every month and we want someone interested in bears. But anyone skilled with webpage administration in the Missoula area we would appreciate hearing from. Call Chuck at 406-540-4140 or email us at [email protected].
