Film Screening in Ashton - Bears of Durango

In 2011 Colorado Parks and Wildlife initiated a research effort to address increases in human-black bear conflicts. A team of wildlife researchers led by Dr. Heather Johnson spent six years investigating factors driving those increases and the effects of expanding development on bear populations. Dusty Hulet, filmmaker and east Idaho native, documented the process. Join the Henrys Fork Wildlife Alliance and the Greater Yellowstone Coalition on January 23 to screen the film “Bears of Durango." Refreshments will be served at 6 p.m., the film will begin at 7 p.m., and a panel discussion with the film maker and human-bear conflict specialists will be held at 8 pm.
