Boulder Bear Coalition

The Boulder Bear Coalition is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing human-bear conflicts within our community. Our mission is to keep local black bears wild and free while ensuring the safety of the Boulder community.

We focus on educating and empowering residents to prevent bears from entering town by proactively reducing attractants and enhancing deterrents. By addressing the root of the problem, we aim to minimize the need for wildlife managers to respond to crises.

A community is built on shared values. Wildlife is something that most residents in Boulder value, thus the Boulder Bear Coalition was born from a need to create a cohesive understanding of what we can do, in clear steps, to protect bears and how we can effectively apply this information.
