Stewardship group aimed at protecting bears forms at Silver Star
Silver Star Bear Stewardship was started last winter and has been focused on educating residents and visitors about how to protect bears, starting with habits like keeping garbage secure and not putting out bear attractants like bird feeders.
“We are hoping to change the idea that we leave garbage out and then a conservation officer may have to come destroy that [bear]. Nobody wants to do that,” said Kathy Jenkins, group coordinator for Silver Star Bear Stewardship.“Instead of having bears destroyed, we stop that at the start by not having the food out for them.”The executive director of Destination SilverStar, a local tourism marketing, and management organization, is part of the project.
It’s our job to help make sure the bears are safe and are kept away from human attractants and it is really significant for us to have that active part,” Zerebeski said.
