Native Food Buffer Zone

How we gave bears another reason to stay in their natural habitat.

Problem: Bears come into town because they are hungry. On their way into town, if they come across natural food, then they are more likely to stay in their natural habitat.

Solution: Plant a natural food source in the bear’s natural habitat. This benefits bears, other wildlife as well as keeping the ecosystem healthy.

Case Study: Boulder Bear Coalition partnered with the City of Boulder Open Space to plant and water hundreds of native food for bears and other wildlife in their natural environment.
