Kenai, Alaska is home to hundreds of hungry bears, both the relatively innocuous black variety and the more frightening subspecies of brown bear, the grizzly. Interactions between humans and grizzlies are dangerous for both species. A pilot project called the Bear-Safe Neighborhood project was organized by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Division of Wildlife Conservation and the City of Kenai with the program’s main emphasis on reducing bear problems due to improper garbage storage and other human-caused attractions.
