Abstract: Adjustments were made in the timber and livestock management programs to accommodate the needs of the grizzly bear in Situation 1 habitat. Some of the major adjustments in the timber management program include reducing cutting unit size; using silvicultural prescriptions to benefit understory forage plants; increasing the size of leave strips; road closures; cover objectives that would not decline below 50 percent; and maintaining security areas of at least 5,000 acres. Some of the major adjustments in the livestock management program include closing four sheep allotments; converting one sheep allotment to a cattle allotment; full-time monitoring of all sheep allotments; restricting methods of handling bear predation problems; and removing sheep from an allotment in cases of conflict.
