Wildlife Conflict Solutions
We strive to support people living with wildlife by educating and engaging citizens in conflict reduction strategies and attractant management programs. We offer assessments and can help plan and implement critical communication and outreach plans to help make communities safe for people and wildlife.
Our staff has expertise, as well as international awards for our work with communities dealing with the challenges of living with large carnivores. We can help you set up a BearSmart or Wildlife Smart program and provide consultation on how to create a long-term, sustainable program in your town or city.

In successful programs, usually an enthusiastic “spark plug” motivates others to get involved. Kim Titchener’s enthusiasm was infectious, and it takes that kind of person to carry these programs forward.
