Montana Governor Steve Bullock’s Grizzly Bear Advisory Council is convening for its first meeting next month in Helena. The council will gather October 3rdand 4th at the Kleffner Ranch in East Helena. The inaugural meeting will cover the objectives and structure of the council and set the stage for the group’s work over the next year, and will feature presentations on grizzly bear biology and ecology, management, and legal specifications, as well as facilitated discussions on key issues and challenges. There will be an open forum for public comment on both days. In March, Governor Bullock announced his intention to appoint a citizen advisory council to facilitate a statewide discussion on long-term grizzly bear management and conservation, and he solicited applications for council membership, seeking individuals with a diversity of views and commitment to working together on the future of grizzly bears in Montana. More than 150 people from across the state applied and a final selection of 18 was made in consultation with Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Next week’s meeting is open to the public.
