This grant to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game provided funding to purchase twenty bear-proof trash cans to be distributed free-of-charge to residents living in the key areas of the Selkirk grizzly bear recovery zone, in an effort to recover the depleted grizzly bear population.  Building trust and cooperation between the Department and the community is vital to recovery for the great bear.  Conflict avoidance strategy training was provided to home owners.  The Department also provided help to evaluate residential homes for other potential bear attractants and sources of conflict.
