About the Event
This is a hands on program (Just kidding!) Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Bear Specialist, Jamie Jonkel, will share along with Dane Williams with Wildlife Services, and Russ Talmo with the Defenders of Wildlife Electric Fence Incentive Program. Both Dane and Russ run different electric fence incentive assistance programs here in Western Montana. Come learn about best management practices to reduce conflicts between people, bears, and other critters, including how to pay for them. Bear Smart Alberton will be available to answer all your Bear related questions concerning the program and reduction of human conflicts. And, Gallagher will have a representative present to go over various types of equipment, to include which chargers are adequate for preventing bears!
