Grizzly bear research and management is Jeremy’s primary focus.   He will briefly cover grizzly bear biology and range expansion in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and talk about grizzly bear research and management conducted by the Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG).  Much of the class will cover ways to distinguish between black bears and grizzly bears; bear behavior; what to do to avoid attacks; how to react when encountered or attacked; and how to effectively use bear spray.  After the presentation, class participants will have a chance to spray a “charging bear” with an inert can of bear spray.
