The managers of member agencies will be hear presentations made by various partners working on different aspects of grizzly bear recovery in the ecosystem. Reports will be heard from the grizzly bear study team, the biological working group, and the information & education working group. Representatives of organizations interested in grizzly bear recovery will also be present, as well as representatives from county governments in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
