Grizzly Bear Restoration in the North Cascades - July 19, 2017

The National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have been working for years to restore sustainable populations of grizzly bears, listed a threatened under the Endangered Species Act, to selected habitats in the U.S. Without active restoration, biologists believe grizzlies will disappear from the North Cascades Ecosystem. This show tells that story. Joe Scott, International Programs Director with Conservation Northwest has spent 20 yrs. working on restoring grizzly bears to the North Cascades. Skagit resident Tim Manns spent 34 yrs. with the National Park Service, 10 of those years in Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Both men have camped and hiked in backcountry wilderness areas for decades. Joe Scott and Tim Manns join Ginny Wolff in this show to talk about why they believe we should restore grizzlies to sustainable populations, what that means, and why do it in Washington. They discuss reservations and fears people have about restoring grizzlies to our public lands, and how this topic is sparking controversy about how our public lands are managed.

On Wednesday, July 19th, 6 - 8 pm, a free program on grizzly bear restoration and county supremacy actions against our federal lands is offered; Padilla Bay Interpretive Center, 10441 Bayview-Edison Road, Mount Vernon. Sponsored by: Indivisible Skagit, Skagit Audubon, Protect Skagit, Conservation Northwest, National Parks Conservation Association.
