The next event in the WildSmart speaker series is called Counting and Managing Grizzly Bears in Kananaskis Country.

Join John Paczkowski, Park Ecologist with Alberta Environment and Parks, for a presentation on grizzly bears in the Kananaskis region and beyond. John will first present on the latest grizzly bear population census work for grizzly bear management area 5 which includes Kananaskis Country down to the Crowsnest Pass. There will then be a discussion about the aversive conditioning program in Kananaskis Country.

For almost 20 years, the program has aimed to reduce bear-human incidents by monitoring and conditioning grizzly bears in the region.
