Glacier National Park is participating in an effort led by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to monitor the grizzly bear population in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem.

According to a release from park officials, the project will use bait stations, automated cameras and traps to capture and monitor grizzly bears inside the park.

Trapping efforts will continue at various locations throughout the park starting this month and running through October.

Bait stations and trap sites will be marked with brightly colored warning signs. Visitors are urged to heed these signs and not enter areas closed for baiting or trapping.

The park is attempting to maintain a sample of up to 10 radio-marked female grizzly bears of an estimated population of 300 grizzly bears living in the park.

Glacier officials said that in 2010 a man was killed by a grizzly east of Yellowstone National Park after he wandered into a capture site.

Warning signs are posted for visitors’ protection to avoid dangerous human-bear interactions.
