BOULDER — In the past two years, Boulder staffers have recorded 208 bear sightings, and the Colorado Division of Wildlife has killed two bears and relocated five others that wandered into the city.
The City Council will discuss options for reducing conflicts between residents and bears — and between residents and mountain lions — at its Tuesday meeting. City staffers are asking the council to approve a strategy that would rely heavily on education and outreach to change the behaviors of residents.
The final policy will become part of the Urban Wildlife Management Plan, which grew out of the council’s passage of the Wildlife Protection Ordinance in 2005.
