The Vital Ground Foundation has long focused on human and bear conflict prevention, and among Vital Ground’s conservation partners in that prevention effort for 2021 is Flathead Land Trust.

     Vital Ground recently announced its 2021 conservation partner awards, and award recipients reflect a broad geography and a broad diversity of projects or programs to reduce human and bear conflicts. Vital Ground presents the 15 award recipients and their efforts on the Vital Ground Website under a headline of Coexistence Work Helps Grizzlies and People Share Landscapes.
