flag The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes reduce bear conflicts by harvesting wild apples, promoting grizzly bear coexistence and opposing their delisting.

flag On Montana’s Flathead Reservation, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are reducing human-bear conflicts by harvesting excess apples from wild and abandoned trees, a seasonal effort led by wildlife program manager Kari Kingery. flag Families, including Kingery’s, gather fruit to press into cider at local festivals, removing attractants that draw bears into residential areas. flag The initiative supports coexistence with grizzly bears, which the tribe views as culturally and spiritually significant, and opposes state efforts to delist them from the Endangered Species Act and allow hunting.
