Restore

"Bring Back the Bear" Evanston, WY

All interested parties participated a Bear River tour in November to discuss partnership potentials and outline a strategy for restoration. Above Kirk Dahle (TU national), Rich Carver (Upper Bear River Chapter), and Rob Keith (Game & Fish) discuss opportunities and issues on the river.

With renewed vigor the Upper Bear River Chapter (formerly the Unita Chapter) of Evanston, Wyoming has taken on a  project that restores several miles of the Bear River that flows through the town of Evanston. 

They have teamed up with Wyoming TU, TU National - Bear River Home Rivers Initiative, the City of Evanston, the State Park, Wyoming Game and Fish,  the Bear River Outdoor Recreation Association (BRORA).  the Bear River Drive Renaissance Project (BRDRP) and BEAR Project, Inc. (the Better Environment and River Project), to address the economic, social and ecological issues surrounding that section of the Bear River. 

In the coming year they will be addressing habitat issues in the State Park Section of river, collecting data, and taking on other projects to improve the fishing and fish habitat in the river.  Volunteers are welcome to participate!  Please contact the chapter president to learn more about this project.
