As part of ongoing efforts to monitor the population of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, biologists with the National Park Service and Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team will be continuing scientific grizzly bear research operations in Yellowstone National Park through October 31st.
This means team members will bait and capture bears at several remote sites within Yellowstone, anesthetize them, take scientific samples for study and then radio collar the bears.
None of the capture sites in the park will be located near any established hiking trails or backcountry campsites, and all capture sites will have posted warnings for the closure perimeter.
Potential access points will also be posted with warning signs for the closure area. Backcountry users who come upon any of these posted areas need to heed the warnings and stay out of the area.
