On the afternoon of July 12, the IGBC Executives will conduct a field visit at the Washington State University Bear Center to hear about research and to discuss a new partnership on the IGBC’s Bear Resistant Product Testing Program, and will hold an Executive Session to discuss litigation and funding topics.
The IGBC’s mission is to support recovery, delisting and ongoing conservation of grizzly bear populations through interagency coordination of policy, planning, management, research and communication. The Committee is chaired by Idaho Fish and Game Director Jim Fredericks.
