New Report – “Grizzly Bear Denning Habitat and Demographic Connectivity in Northern Idaho And Western Montana”
The Flathead-Lolo-Bitterroot Citizen Task Force has released a new report, “Grizzly Bear Denning Habitat and Demographic Connectivity in Northern Idaho And Western Montana,” authored by independent wildlife consultant Mike Bader and Paul Sieracki, geospatial analyst and wildlife biologist.
They identify numerous places where female bears can reside year-round between the Northern Continental Divide, Cabinet-Yaak and Bitterroot Grizzly Bear Recovery Areas. The authors also recommend additions to the Bitterroot Recovery Area and more effective motorized access management.
