Interns will assist park biologists in reducing human-wildlife conflicts by detecting and mitigating the acailability of human food in campgrounds, parking lots, lodging facilites, and other park areas. Interns will assist with monitoring movements of bears using radio telemetry, assist in capture and relocation of bears and other wildlife, assist with negative conditioning of bears and other wildlife using various tactics, and enter daily patrol data into a database. Interns may also participate in wilderness patrols focusing on educating hikers and backpackers about bears and proper food storage.
