Can a Town Really Be Bear-Proof? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a visit to an elementary school in Wyoming that practices "bear drills," we head to Gardiner, Montana, where living alongside grizzlies is part of daily life. There, Evan Stout with Bear Awareness Gardiner shows us what it takes for a community to become bear-aware—and find surprising parallels between living with grizzlies in town and on working lands. Show notes — Topics discussed: Bear Awareness Gardiner, Bear Smart Communities, community-led conflict reduction, bear-resistant trash and

Grizzly management update: What's really going on with the USFWS new proposed grizzly rule As grizzlies expand across the Northern Rockies, we're revisiting a story from last season that helps connect the dots. We head to southwest Montana, where ranchers Jami Murdoch and Erik Kalsta are monitoring grizzlies and other wildlife moving through their working lands. Along with Blackfeet rancher Kristen Kipp and federal and state wildlife experts, we explore what grizzly recovery really entails - and
Why Did the Grizzly Bear Cross the Road? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Working lands help give expanding grizzly populations room to roam - but highways can turn those connected landscapes into isolated islands. In this episode, we follow the movement of grizzlies across the Northern Rockies and explore how roads can become barriers to bears and other wildlife. From a bear that approached I-90 47 times before finally crossing, to a stretch of Highway 93 in Montana where vehicle collisions are a major source of grizzly mortality, we dig into the science of what griz
Ranching with Grizzlies in Wyoming's Upper Green (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if keeping cattle on public lands is also helping keep critical wildlife habitat intact? In Wyoming's Upper Green, ranchers move cattle along the historic Green River Drift through one of the epicenters of livestock-grizzly conflict in the Northern Rockies. Public grazing helps sustain private ranchlands—including critical river bottoms and winter range that keep this landscape connected for wildlife. As grizzlies recover, the challenge of keeping ranches viable while maintaining habitat fo
Beyond Yellowstone: Grizzlies, the Craighead Brothers, and the Rise of Modern Wildlife Ecology (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is one of the defining concepts in wildlife conservation. But where did it come from? In the 1950s, Frank and John Craighead pioneered modern grizzly bear research, using radio telemetry to follow bears far beyond the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park. Their work revealed that grizzlies depended on a much larger, connected landscape (including working lands) and helped introduce the concept of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem - an idea that continues to g
