The Wind River Bear Institute – Karelian Bear Dog Partners are fundraising for our upcoming trip to Finland!!!

To help support this endeavor, we created 2 “Karelian Bear Dogs Help Protect Bears & People” fundraising stickers! These stickers are available in limited quantities as a fundraiser for Wind River Bear Institute Director, Nils Pedersen, to travel to Finland in October 2022 to learn about how Karelian Bear Dogs (KBD) are traditionally used to hunt big game. The methods that we use to evaluate and train our KBD pups and many of the ways that we use KBDs to reduce human-bear conflict are rooted in traditional hunting practices. To continue to do our work safely and effectively, it is important that we learn from people that know the dogs best!

These stickers are available in limited quantities in the “Shop” section of our Website so get yours now before they’re all sold out and help support our meaningful work for wildlife conservation and the amazing dogs that make it all possible! These stickers are a high-quality 3″ diameter vinyl, perfect as a bumper sticker, on your water bottle, or as a gift to a fellow KBD enthusiast. Thank you for your support!!!
