Annual Grizzly Bear Research Set To Resume In September
As they have for 36 years, members of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team
(IGBST), are set to resume research work in Yellowstone
National Park.
This long-term monitoring and
research effort provides critical information used to monitor the status of the grizzly bear in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. This and other data helps wildlife managers devise and implement programs to support the ongoing recovery of the grizzly bear population.
Over the coming weeks, team members will attempt to trap bears at several remote sites in Yellowstone National Park. Once trapped, the bears are sedated in to allow wildlife biologists to conduct scientific studies of the grizzlies in accordance with long established protocols. The trapping work is set to begin in early September and will continue through the end of October.

Big Sky gets new trail;
Water & Sewer Board votes to expand Crail Trail for community
Hikers, bikers, runners and dog walkers will soon have more trail options, thanks to a collaborative effort between Big Sky Community Corp. (BSSC) and the Big Sky Water & Sewer District.
The district’s board voted during its August 17 meeting to sponsor the expansion of the BSCC Crail Trail through land it owns. Currently, the trail that parallels Little Coyote Road and continues into the Big Sky Community Park is widely used by locals and visitors alike. It will now grow, extending along the North Fork River, past the Northwest Energy substation, heading up Big Horn Ridge and circling back down into the Community Park.
Construction of the trail extension will begin this fall. The $20,000 cost for the trail will be paid by revenues generated from the District’s sale of a parcel of land to Northwestern Energy. The BSCC contracted with Landtech for the work.
