working to keep wildlife wild... Living with Predators Resource Guides 2009 Edition NOW AVAILABLE Bear-Resistant Products Testing Program Expanded in 2009 Now Includes Testing with Captive Black Bears (more information coming soon!) Bear-Resistant Products Testing Program Testing Results Are Now Stated with a Star Rating Rather than a Pass or Fail Rating
In June of 2008, the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee endorsed a revised testing protocol that will provide more detailed information about the relative bear-resistancy of products tested through this program. Products are now rated with a star rating based upon the amount of time they have been able to withstand contact from captive grizzly bears, whether or not the US Forest Service deems them to be "user-friendly", and whether or not they are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Click here for more details! BUYER BEWARE! Please check our testing results page before purchasing a bear-resistant container. Products may have been tested through our program but may have not met our minimum requirements for bear-resistancy.
Please check our list of tested products or contact LWWF to verify manufacturer claims prior to selecting a container.
