7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Presented by: Andrea Morehouse, Grizzly Bear Monitoring Project Coordinator
Hosted by: Pincher Creek & District Municipal Library
Have you been out in Waterton or the Castle area and noticed trees with barbed wire? Wondering what it’s for? Multiple agencies have joined together to monitor grizzly bears in southwestern Alberta using non‐invasive methods. Bears naturally rub on a variety of surfaces, leaving behind hair samples ‐ and their DNA. Genetic analysis of the hair samples reveals species, sex, and individual identity of the bear. This information will help agencies further understand grizzly bear populations, densities, and distributions. Join Andrea Morehouse, Grizzly Bear Monitoring Project Coordinator, for a talk about this new project.
