    It is nice to see a group who does something other than sue for habitat. Nice for the rest of the wildlife too.

    Linda Jo,

    You are probably aware that there are very many land trusts in the United States, many devoted at least indirectly to conserving wildlife habitat.

    From the few things I have heard of “Vital Ground” they are one of the few that concentrate on bear habitat.

Fantastic, here are the ground rules: No personal attacks, profanity, discriminatory language or threats. Keep it clean, civil and on topic. The Wildlife News does not fact check every comment but, when noticed, submissions containing clear misinformation, demonstrably false statements of fact or links to sites trafficking in such will not be posted.
