Coexisting with Wildlife: Black Bears in Estes Park
PublicThe Colorado Bear Coalition has worked since 2021 to mitigate human-black bear interactions all across the state. We have been assisting the Coalition by investigating bear attractants in the town of Estes Park and by identifying possible mitigation strategies to utilize at the YMCA of the Rockies. We interviewed different restaurants in the area, evaluated the bear interactions that have occurred at the YMCA, and interviewed various YMCA employees. From our findings, we recommend that the YMCA should implement an “unwelcome” window system and conduct further research on the feasibility of planting foraging areas on its campus.
