hat we do: The Sierra Club Grizzly Bear Ecosystems Project is working to protect and restore wild grizzly populations and their habitat in the lower 48 United States and Canada. We are committed to ensuring that grizzly populations are healthy and large enough to be viable in the long-term, and that strong habitat protections are in place prior to removing the grizzly from the Endangered Species Act list.

The Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest is Montana's largest, with nearly 2 million roadless acres - more unprotected roadless lands than any other forest in the state and an irreplaceable part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Without lasting Wilderness protection these landscapes will be overrun by the explosive growth of off-road vehicles that spread noxious weeds, stress wildlife, and wound the landscape with illegal motorized routes. The Forest Service has released the final Forest Plan for the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. Please tell Forest Supervisor Bruce Ramsey to protect the forest's threatened wilderness values and encourage him to resist the political pressure applied by motorized groups. Comments are due by April 30.
Take action! Speak up on behalf of America's National Forest lands and the wildlife that live there.

Garbage, pet food, bird feeders, and grills can attract grizzly bears out of the wild and into neighborhoods. As a result, bears are often habituated or "hooked on" these unnatural foods and become labeled as "problem" bears. Find out how the Sierra Club is working to protect bears and people by bear-proofing communities located near Yellowstone National Park.
