Welcome to the Missoula Bear website

Together with our partners, we have chosen a proactive approach to reducing bear-human conflicts. Our goal is to increase local awareness by disseminating information and assisting neighbors. Our plan is intended to reduce conflicts with wildlife, while also:

• Increasing human safety
  
• Keeping our neighborhoods clean
  
• Reducing the amount of time Montana
  Fish, Wildlife & Parks spends addressing bear conflicts in Missoula each year,
  allowing them to use their time more effectively in other areas of concern
