Bear Smart Society

The Bear Smart Society is an organization dedicated to promoting coexistence between humans and bears through education, policy, and community initiatives. Its goal is to reduce bear-human conflicts by encouraging responsible waste management, secure food storage, and habitat preservation. The Society provides guidance to communities on how to minimize attractants that draw bears into human areas, helping protect both people and wildlife. By fostering awareness and sustainable practices, the Bear Smart Society aims to prevent bear conflicts and support healthy, balanced ecosystems.
