Idaho Fish and Game has staff dedicated to raising awareness, providing education and support and resolving conflict in local communities relative to bears (grizzly and black) in the Panhandle, with emphasis on Boundary County.
Each year IDFG staff hosts and participates in a variety of events to provide training, resources and support for residents in local communities. From bear spray exchange to a remote-controlled bear for people to practice using bear spray, they offer it all!
