About Swan Valley Bear Resources - Electric Fence Building

The mission of Swan Valley Bear Resources (SVBR) is to offer community resources to promote coexistence between people and bears. SVBR is a working group formed by a collaborative effort between local non-profit conservation organizations and community members in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks (FWP), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) and other natural resource entities. The purpose of this collaborative effort is to pool resources, experience and expertise, and to address bear conflicts on private and public property in the Swan Valley.

Swan Valley Bear Resources (SVBR) assists local landowners in the cost-share construction of bear resistant fences to temporarily or permanently secure attractants, such as small livestock, orchard trees, gardens, and other bear attractants.
