Grizzly Bear Conflict Funding
The Office of Species Conservation has $75,000 available annually for agricultural producers interested in funding for preventative measures such as permanent electric fence, temporary electric fence, reinforced grain bin doors, feed storage and other supplies that are proven to reduce grizzly bear conflict. Each agricultural operation is different and has its own set of challenges, because of this the program will consider funding other tools for attractant storage. This program is administered as a cost share program and the match from the producer will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The cost share match is waived for 4-H and FFA youth. Funding is available to producers living in Bonner and Boundary Counties, as well as producers in Eastern Idaho near the Greater Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone.
