With Their ‘Past Lives’ Score, Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen And Christopher Bear Are Finding New Ways To Collaborate

Pop culture has become a neverending intermingling of media formats and personalities. What was once indie is now pop and what once existed in just a song has found new avenues in which to manifest itself. We’re living in a world where The National’s Aaron Dessner is now Taylor Swift’s go-to producer; deepening the indie and pop Venn diagram. And the spheres are increasingly extending beyond musical collaborations.

Indie artists like Dessner, Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes, and Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never are routinely being pegged to score the soundtracks to notable films. And while films they’ve scored like Cyrano , Queen & Slim , and Uncut Gems , respectively, have found varying levels of success, Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and Christopher Bear composed the score to director Celine Song’s A24-released Past Lives , a film that has become 2023’s first Oscar favorite.

“It still is a little bit of a mystery how it all came together,” Bear, Grizzly Bear’s drummer, jokes on a Zoom call. ”Grizzly Bear’s music was licensed in the past for films, but we’d never scored anything together, that’s for sure,” Rossen, the band’s guitarist and co-lead vocalist, adds.

Rossen says he’d never scored anything himself — at all — before this, and relished modestly in the new experience, especially given Grizzly Bear’s standstill since their last album, Painted Ruins , came out in 2017. Bear had helped Rossen “in a pretty involved way” on his 2022 solo album, You Belong There , providing drums and percussion for it. And while that laid a foundation for this newfound partnership, scoring a movie together was a new frontier.

“It’s been a while since we had worked on anything together so it was an exploratory thing to see what that would mean for both of us, given our separate studio setups for me in Santa Fe and Chris in LA,” Rossen says. ”I felt like it was a bit of a rediscovery process for us too, figuring out the scoring.”

While Rossen is new to scoring, Bear had scored the HBO series High Maintenance , where Past Lives star Greta Lee was briefly featured as far back as 2012. They said there was initial interest in some of Grizzly Bear’s music for the film, but the how and why of their involvement stops there. When you consider that Past Lives marks Song’s directorial debut, she’s clearly establishing her aesthetic across the board and the errr…grizzly pair, is a part of that. It’s likely that her film will help boost Rossen and Bear to be the next indie musicians in line to make a concerted push into Hollywood. And it’s one heck of a start.

Past Lives was a standout at Sundance in January as well as at the Berlin Film Festival the following month. It’s already out in LA in New York and will have its widespread release in theaters nationwide on June 23. It currently has a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a Metascore of 93 on Metacritic, where it’s marked as a “must-see.” Out now, the soundtrack features Rossen and Bear’s grounding 15-track score, plus Sharon Van Etten’s Zach Dawes-produced “Quiet Eyes.”

The romantic drama tells the story of a Korean ex-pat (Lee) who moved to Canada in her youth and then eventually to New York City. She cultivates an online relationship of sorts with her childhood sweetheart (played by Teo Yoo), which fizzles in the long distance. She then eventually meets and marries a New Yorker (played by John Magaro) until one day Yoo comes to visit them in New York and she has to confront her past and present feelings for both men. It’s a story that’s a very real one for a number of immigrant Americans, packed with emotional nuance that hasn’t been told with this much candor on the big screen; an amazing and brutal reminder of the past and an essential story in today’s America.

All the while, Bear and Rossen manage to capture the passage of time beautifully with their music. As Song’s film jumps from time periods and cities with an incredible flow, the composers find ways to stitch senses and memories together. Big cellos and wistful keys guide a scene during a montage of the characters communicating intercontinentally. Shots of New York City and Seoul seesaw along with the evocative strings and gentle synths of “Crossing II” and “Why Are You Going To New York.” It’s a gorgeous score that captures love, longing, nostalgia, whimsy, hope, coincidence, and anxiety in its many forms, and then some. Through it all, the music transcends whatever the language being spoken is and builds the artfulness of Past Lives ’ scenes and locales.

Bear explains that while working remotely in their respective studio spaces, he and Rossen built a sort of matrix of emotions for plotting out sounds. A visual that they could use to keep things focused throughout the film’s many arcs.

“In the end, we had started developing those thoughts and where those themes would reappear into a color-coded graph where we’d say, ‘these three things are related because they’re telling this story,’” Bear says. “And then there’d be certain cues mainly focused on one of the themes in the film but maybe more of a theme related to Nora (Lee) and Arthur’s (Magaro) relationship, but then also still leaving in hints from her childhood relationship. We’d figure out interesting ways of intermingling those while simultaneously trying to do that so it’s not overbearing or bonking over the head…to let the viewer have their own feeling and have their own emotional interaction.”

It’s just Rossen and Bear playing every single instrument on the score. There’s no backing orchestra in a grand studio to support them. Bear played piano and applied different synth textures, while Rossen played guitar and piano while adding more acoustics “around the edges,” including cello, an upright bass, and “little horn parts.” Bear dipped into expansive synth arrangements, percussion, and vibraphone, angling to assign each instrumental “a character that was unique.”

“Chris really took a strong lead in a lot of the score,” Rossen says. “Not that he didn’t do that in Grizzly Bear, but we had slightly more set roles in the band and this was a lot more open.”

As for the state of the band, they contend that Grizzly Bear is in the same place it has been for the past six years: Not split up and just up in the air. “The band exists as an idea dislodged from time,” Rossen jokes. I semi-seriously suggest to them that it’s only a matter of time before a certain corporate promoter approaches them about a band reunion for a nostalgic festival appearance. Rossen takes that in stride and chides that, “I always say eventually we’ll get desperate and do our Vegas casino tour.”

But they give off the sense that a reunion is far from imminent. Bassist/producer Chris Taylor lives in Spain, while singer Ed Droste has been pursuing a new career as a therapist. Meanwhile both Rossen and Bear have put out solo projects in recent years and now this score. But if the attention that Past Lives is getting continues to grow as the film reaches its widespread release date later this month, there might be a lot more film composing gigs in the future for them.

“This felt like a big one, like an important role,” Bear says. Before Rossen adds, “I think we’d be into doing something like this again, yeah.”

Grizzly Bear (band)

Grizzly Bear was an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York , formed in 2002. For most of its tenure, the band has consisted of Edward Droste (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Daniel Rossen (vocals, guitar, banjo, keyboards), Chris Taylor (bass, backing vocals, woodwinds, production), and Christopher Bear (drums, percussion, backing vocals). The band employed both traditional and electronic instruments, and their sound has been categorized as psychedelic pop , folk rock , and experimental . The band was known for their use of vocal harmony, with all four members contributing vocals and lead vocals alternating between Rossen and Droste.

Beginnings and Horn of Plenty (2002–2005)

Yellow house (2006–2007), veckatimest (2008–2010), shields (2011–2014), painted ruins (2015–2019), ed droste's departure and extended hiatus (2020–present), philanthropy, discography, external links.

Initially a solo project for Droste, the first Grizzly Bear album, Horn of Plenty (2004), was a lo-fi studio project released on Kanine Records . The album featured drumming contributions from Bear, who would go on to join the project full-time in 2004, alongside Taylor and Rossen for live performances. Performing as a four-piece, the resulting chemistry turned Grizzly Bear into a band of equal collaborators, with Rossen becoming its co-lead vocalist and second principal songwriter, and Taylor adopting the role of producer and multi-instrumentalist. The band's second studio album, Yellow House , was released to widespread critical acclaim in 2006 and was the first to feature the full Grizzly Bear band.

Preceded by the single " Two Weeks ", the band's third studio album, Veckatimest (2009), increased their exposure significantly, reaching #8 on the Billboard 200 and selling over 220,000 copies. After extensive touring, the band reconvened for the more experimental and expansive album, Shields , which was released to further acclaim in 2012. The band's fifth and most recent studio album, Painted Ruins , was released in 2017. Following the album's accompanying tour, the band entered an extended hiatus, [7] with Droste announcing that he had left the band in 2020. [8]

Grizzly Bear began as a moniker for songwriter Ed Droste 's music in the early 2000s. Regarding the band's origins as a solo project, Droste noted, "It was just like doing a little home project, and I thought "oh, this is fun, I'm just going to call this stuff Grizzly Bear. [...] Our name was actually just a nickname for an old boyfriend of mine." [9]

In 2004, Droste released Grizzly Bear's debut album, Horn of Plenty . Predominately a solo album, the album featured contributions from future drummer Christopher Bear . [10] Rolling Stone magazine wrote of the first album, "the pure atmospheric power of the songs is more than enough to hypnotize." [11]

Droste and Bear were subsequently joined by bass guitarist and producer Chris Taylor , and performed four shows together as a three-piece. Regarding these shows, Droste noted, "We've never played without the four of us, really. The first couple shows we did before we knew Dan [Rossen], we did with three of us and they kind of sucked. From the get-go, when we were trying to put together a live show, that's when we discovered our sound and that's why I think that was the beginning of the band." [12]

Guitarist and vocalist Daniel Rossen , a friend of Bear's from jazz-camp, [9] [10] joined the band soon after. Rossen stated, "For a long time, I only played my songs to close friends; and it just happened that I lived with Chris Taylor during my second year of college, so he heard them. He was my entrance into Grizzly Bear. He joined the band first, then after a while he suggested I come in with these songs. [...] When I joined, I did about two rehearsals with them, worked out one of my songs to put into the set, then a week later we were out on the road for a two-month tour. It was a real trial-by-fire thing. I was close with Chris and Chris [Bear], but I didn’t know Ed [Droste] at all; it was weird getting to know a stranger by spending all day in the same car." [13]

Regarding the decision to turn Grizzly Bear into a full band, Droste noted: "I was quite happy to relinquish the idea of being a solo artist. I hate the thought of being under a spotlight with my guitar, mumbling into a microphone. It's horribly scary to me." [6]

In 2005, The Remixes , a collection of remixed songs from Horn of Plenty , was released by Kanine Records . Contributors include Simon Bookish , Final Fantasy , Soft Pink Truth , DNTEL , Efterklang , and Ariel Pink . [14]

Their first record as a quartet and to feature material written by Rossen, Yellow House , was released on Warp Records in September 2006. It was named for Droste's mother's house where it was recorded [15] and ranked as one of the top albums of 2006 by The New York Times and Pitchfork . In 2007, Rossen recorded a cover of JoJo 's single " Too Little Too Late " for Droste's twenty-ninth birthday. [16] Also in 2007, the band released Friend , an EP which features outtakes, alternate versions of songs, and covers of Grizzly Bear material done by Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS), Band of Horses , and Atlas Sound . In addition, members of the Dirty Projectors and Beirut collaborated with the band on "Alligator" and the EP's hidden track. [17]

In summer of 2008, Grizzly Bear opened for Radiohead on the second leg of their North American tour. [18] In Toronto , on their last date of the tour together, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood spoke of his love for Grizzly Bear, on stage, calling them his favorite band. [19] Of the experience, Taylor has commented: “It was shocking, and kind of unbelievable. It still is unbelievable. Opening for Radiohead was a huge honor for us, as a band and as individuals. We’ve all had long-term relationships with Radiohead’s music, so we didn’t want to take that opportunity for granted, and do anything less than the best we could." [20] Christopher has also commented that it "was like a dream." [21]

The group then convened at a house on Cape Cod to solidify their third full-length album, Veckatimest , which released in May 2009 and was named "after a tiny, uninhabited island on Cape Cod that the band visited and was inspired by, particularly liking its Native American name." [22] Upon release the album reached No. 8 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and met with widespread critical acclaim. Chris Bear has noted that compared to Yellow House , the 2009 release Veckatimest is more of an accessible pop record. He said: "I think that it’s kinda clearer, clearer equals more accessible I feel like clearer equals more accessible in general as a rule." [23] Veckatimest made many Top Album lists for 2009 (#1 Wall Street Journal , No. 6 Pitchfork, No. 6 New York Times , No. 8 Time ). [24]

In 2009 Grizzly Bear played at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on February 28 with Owen Pallett , backed by an orchestra arranged by Nico Muhly and conducted by Michael Christie . They played new songs from Veckatimest as well as songs from Yellow House . Ed Droste has stated that many songs (such as "Central and Remote", "Reprise" and "Campfire") will not be played again unless backed by an orchestra. In March 2009, they played two showcases at South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas . In July 2009, they played at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago , Illinois . [25]

In 2009, Grizzly Bear collaborated with singer Victoria Legrand on the song "Slow Life" for The Twilight Saga: New Moon . The song is featured in the film as Bella sees an illusion of Edward underwater.

In March 2012, Daniel Rossen released a solo EP, Silent Hour/Golden Mile , consisting of tracks he had written for the band's forthcoming album, but were not used. [26]

On June 5, 2012, the song " Sleeping Ute " from their then-untitled upcoming studio album was posted on the band's website, along with the album's track listing. [27] The band also announced tour dates in conjunction with the release of the song, which coincided with the release date of the album. On July 9, 2012, the band revealed the album's title to be Shields . [28]

On September 4, 2012, the album leaked on the internet. Then on September 10, the album was available for an early listen via the NPR website. [29]

Grizzly Bear was scheduled to headline and curated ATP 's I'll Be Your Mirror festival at Alexandra Palace in London, UK on May 5, 2013. However, after the event was initially postponed to November 2013, I'll Be Your Mirror was cancelled in August due to "problems with the venue and new date". [30]

On September 17, 2013, the track "Will Calls (Marfa Demo)" was debuted, together with the announcement of two expanded Shields re-releases, followed by the song "Listen and Wait (Bonus Track)" on October 30. [31] The re-releases, Shields: Expanded and Shields: B-sides , were released on November 11, 2013 [32] and include eight B-side remixes, five unreleased songs, and three remixes sold in two formats: a two-CD set and 12" 180 grams (6.3 oz) vinyl. [33]

In January 2014, Grizzly Bear closed out their international Shields tour with a sold-out performance at the Sydney Opera House. The performance was streamed live internationally on YouTube . [34]

Following the completion of the Shields tour, Daniel Rossen embarked upon a solo tour performing tracks from his debut EP, and his other band, Department of Eagles . During the tour, Rossen commented on the future of Grizzly Bear, stating: "We don't have a clear plan. We tend to like to let the records come together naturally. I think everyone wants a little bit of a break and everyone's scattered around the globe. I think towards the end of the year, if it feels natural, we'll start again." In a more recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, singer Ed Droste explained that a new album was in the works. Unlike the recording process for Shields , where Grizzly Bear ensconced themselves at studios in Marfa, Texas and Cape Cod, Massachusetts to construct a truly collaborative album, Droste says the creative process was "more fractured." While two members still live in New York, the other half, including Droste, have traded coasts and now reside in Los Angeles. As of June 2016, Droste had been working on the next album with the rest of Grizzly Bear. [35] [36]

On April 4, 2017, Grizzly Bear posted a short video clip to their website and Instagram account [37] —presumably a demo or sample from their upcoming album. Later, they uploaded a number of clips (all brief and without lyrics) with increasing frequency. On May 5, 2017, the song "Three Rings" was released onto Vevo. Soon after, on May 17, 2017, a new single, "Mourning Sound" was released, and a new album was announced titled Painted Ruins . [38] As promotion, a third track "Four Cypresses" was released onto the band's Vevo on June 23, 2017. A fourth promotion single was released on July 21, 2017 titled "Neighbors".

On August 18, 2017 Painted Ruins was released to positive reviews. [39] [40] [41] [42] The album was followed by a music video for the track "Losing All Sense," released onto the band's Vevo on September 28, 2017, featuring actresses Busy Philipps and Freckle . [43]

In 2020, Ed Droste confirmed that he had departed from the band and had enrolled in school to become a therapist. His departure was not announced publicly, but was confirmed during a podcast appearance in 2020. [44] Discussing his departure from the band in November 2023, Droste noted: "I guess the decision came when I realized I didn't like the lifestyle in the band, which wasn't sustainable for me. I wasn't feeling healthy anymore, and so I just decided to try something new. [...] It was just difficult at the end for me and a bit of it was losing its luster, I suppose. And never say never. There's no official breakup or anything. I'm just doing this for now and who knows what'll happen in the future." [45]

Daniel Rossen and Chris Bear continued to work together closely during the band's hiatus. At first collaborating with Fleet Foxes on the track "Cradling Mother, Cradling Woman" from their 2020 album, Shore . Rossen released his debut solo album, You Belong There , in April 2022, which featured significant contributions from Bear throughout. The pair composed the soundtrack to the 2023 film, Past Lives , which was released on A24 Music .

In an interview promoting You Belong There , Rossen confirmed that Grizzly Bear is currently on hiatus. "There's no official line here," Rossen said. "I still work closely with Chris Bear, I still talk with Chris Taylor fairly often — he lives in Spain now. Ed and I are still in contact, but he needs a little distance from us for personal reasons. He's pursuing a different career. We may do something again. When those [ Painted Ruins ] tours ended, I was about to have a child, Chris Taylor just had his son, Chris Bear has a family, he was pursuing other work. It made sense to have a break there to do other things. We've always taken time between records. I don't know what the future holds. I think for now it's safe to say we're inactive, but I'm very reluctant to make some grand statement like, 'We've broken up!' I don't trust that, especially because people come back together again. I think it's entirely possible that we could, I just don't know." [7]

Rossen elaborated in a further interview: "I think where we are now is just a very natural — you know, Grizzly Bear, I joined that band at the end of 2004, so you consider how long that was. The stretch that we were active was like 14 years. And I think if anything it’s just like, people change, lives change. I really respect bands and artists that can keep it together forever, but I think we all just wanted to do some different things with our lives for a little bit. That doesn’t mean the band’s over. It’s not. There’s no official line on that. We’re not broken up or anything. It’s just, you know, Ed is pursuing a different career. He went back to school. He wanted to do that. He was having not the most productive time on the road. It was not great for him. It wasn’t really great for any of us by the end, honestly. It was just… we wanted to do something different." [46] In November 2023, Ed Droste suggested that the band could regroup in the future: "It's not a destroyed entity. It can easily come back and exist if the time is right and the mood is right." [45]

In 2009, Grizzly Bear contributed "Service Bell" (with Feist ) and "Deep Blue Sea" to the AIDS benefit album Dark Was the Night produced by the Red Hot Organization . [47] That same year they also released a charity T-shirt via the Yellow Bird Project , to raise money for the Brighter Planet Foundation. [48]

About The Grizzly Band

Grizzly Bears of the Wild

Journey into the great bear rainforest to meet its iconic grizzly inhabitants.

Experience an up-close interaction with the grizzly bears of British Columbia when you spend the full day with us in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest on a truly immersive wildlife-watching journey. Venturing into our traditional territories inMusgamakw Dzawada’enuxw Territory (Northern Vancouver Island), our Indigenous-run adventures offer unrivalled opportunities to see grizzly bears in their natural habitat, while supporting our communities and learning more about our history and culture.

What will we see?

Travelling to our bear viewing areas is an important part of the day’s adventure, as we enjoy unparalleled access to our traditional territories and the communities where our owners and guides are honoured members. Pacific white-sided dolphins often dance alongside the bow of our boat, eagles soar overhead, and animals roam the shell-strewn beaches where ancient villages were once occupied by our people.

Sharing the cultural significance and stories behind the scenery, we make our way through waters favoured by migrating orcas and other awe-inspiring wildlife. Staying a safe and respectful distance from these majestic creatures, we’ll then visit grizzly bears in their home, where we also give the bears space to roam as nature intended.

Where do we go?

Join us on a unique journey into the Great Bear Rainforest, guided by our team of Indigenous Knowledge Keepers. Every season and each day is different, so our route will change based on giving you the very best grizzly bear viewing experience. We’ll be travelling in comfort through places of extreme natural beauty and cultural significance, such as Knight Inlet, Bond Sound, Thompson Sound.

Start your adventure with a two-hour boat journey from Port McNeill, or the First Nations’ village of Alert Bay, into the beautiful territory of the Kwakwaka‘wakw peoples. If time permits and guests are keen, we may visit the fascinating U’Mista Museum in Alert Bay, which is home to recovered artifacts and cultural history.

Listen to your guide’s Indigenous interpretation of local landscapes, and learn more about the birthplace of our ancestors and the history of our people, from ancient traditions to contemporary culture.

Refuel with a locally made lunch before we make our way back through the Broughton Archipelago and Blackfish Sound, where we often encounter the gentle giants of the Pacific: migrating humpback whales.

Stellar sea lions are massive, with males significantly larger than females. They primarily feast on fish and squid and are known for their loud roars during breeding season on remote beaches. These sea lions inhabit the North Pacific and are known for long-distance migrations. Conservation efforts are crucial as the western population is endangered, mainly due to conflicts with fisheries. Researchers monitor them closely to help protect this vital marine species. #seawolfadventures #swa #traveltruthbeauty #sealion #explorebc #explorecanada #wildlifeplanet #natgeo #natgeowildlifetourism #coastalrainforestsafaris #crs #safetrueeducational

Orcas, also known as killer whales, are revered in the coastal rainforest of British Columbia, including around Vancouver Island, for their awe-inspiring presence and ecological significance. With their sleek black-and-white markings and powerful presence, orcas exude a mystical allure, captivating the imaginations of those who encounter them. These magnificent creatures play a crucial role in the marine ecosystem, serving as apex predators and helping maintain the balance of oceanic populations. Their diet primarily consists of fish, seals, and sea lions, making them essential for regulating the populations of these prey species. Beyond their ecological importance, orcas are also a symbol of wilderness and natural beauty in the region. Their graceful movements through the water and distinctive social structures fascinate observers and inspire a sense of wonder and respect for the natural world. However, orcas face various threats, including habitat degradation, pollution, and declining prey populations. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensuring the survival of these iconic marine mammals and preserving the delicate balance of the coastal rainforest ecosystem they call home. #orca #killerwhale #mystic #seawolfadventures #swa #traveltruthbeauty #broughtonarchipelago #greatbearrainforest

#Repost @taylormichaelburk ・・・ After patiently waiting for several hours along a river bank we eventually saw a grizzly. It made its way down the river towards us as it was fishing for salmon. There’s always so much excitement that builds up when you first see a bear, the feeling never gets old. Shortly after another grizzly came around the bend in the opposite direction, with a young cub trotting behind her. There was a lot happening at once and you didn’t know which way to look! After gaining their trust by being still,silent and non threatening we were able to spend a prolonged period of time with them as they hunted. You’re never guaranteed sightings which makes these moments all the more special. The result of careful management of human behaviour has allowed for incredible opportunities to observe these bears behaving naturally in their own habitat. Being guided for these encounters is crucial in my opinion. @Seawolfadventures has spent many years out here building relationships and trust with these bears, most of them since they were cubs and beyond! It was reassuring to be around guides who understand and know how to read the bears behaviours, for everyone’s safety.

Music Behind the Block outdoor concert series announces 2023 schedule

Event has passed

THOMASTON — Thomaston Main Street’s Music Behind the Block outdoor concert series returns again in 2023.

“This year's series promises to be even more exciting with a diverse line-up that's sure to offer something for everyone,” said Thomaston Main Street, in a news release. “Music Behind the Block is set to transform the heart of Thomaston into a hub of musical enjoyment for residents and visitors alike.” The series kicks off with Down East Dead, a Grateful Dead tribute band, on Wednesday, August 9.

“After receiving immense love and praise from last summer's concert series, Down East Dead is back by popular demand, ready to get the crowd dancing and grooving to the timeless tunes of the Grateful Dead,” said the release. Down East Dead was originally formed as a way for some local Midcoast friends to get together during the days of COVID, “when live music as the world knew it came crashing to a halt,” said Thomaston Main Street. Bassist James Taylor (of Boston rock improv explorers, Skyfoot) put the call out on social media and guitarist Rodney Sturdee (of Maine’s pioneer Grateful Dead tribute band, Lazy Lightning) quickly answered the request. Before they knew it, the addition of keyboardist Jeff Merrow (also of Lazy Lightning) and drummer Ryan Benoit (of Hambone and Coyote Island) had completed the initial lineup of D.E.D. In 2023, the band welcomed Cam King (of Merther) as the newest second guitarist. Once live music re-emerged, the band hit the scene and quickly garnered recognition from heads all across the state of Maine as one of the newest and most authentic tributes to the music of the Grateful Dead in the area. On Wednesday, August 16, The Cedar Shakes take the stage for a performance that will have the crowd tip tappin' and dosey doe-ing to the sweet sound of jug band, blues, and bluegrass music. Based in Central Maine, the Cedar Shakes is Joey Calzone on resonator guitar, banjo, stomp box, and vocals; Zack on lead guitar, spoons, kazoo, and vocals; Jon on upright bass; Robby on washboard and vocals, and Hilrose on fiddle and vocals. The grand finale of Music Behind the Block features R&B Soul/Funk band The Sugar Snaps on Wednesday, August 23. The band is led by the powerful vocals of Ms. Emma Theobalds, who locals will recognize from her many appearances on-stage with the Watts Hall Community Players. Theobalds is accompanied by Julian Stearns on trumpet, Will Field on guitar, Mo Lotman on keys, Adam Nordell on bass, and Willy Chrichton on drums.

“With their funky renditions of the catchiest soul-snatching tunes from the 60s and 70s, The Sugar Snaps are sure to have the crowd boogeying the night away,” said Main Street. All concerts will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m., allowing attendees to revel in the summer evenings filled with enchanting melodies under the open sky. As always, Music Behind the Block is a family-friendly event, inviting all members of the community to come together and enjoy the music in a safe and welcoming environment. Adding to the festivities, the Hold My Cone ice cream truck will be on-site, dishing up mouthwatering treats from Stone Fox Farm Creamery. In addition, lawn games will be set up for everyone to partake in and add to the fun-filled atmosphere. “The primary goal of Music Behind the Block is to foster community connections and encourage visitors to explore the charming downtown area of Thomaston,” said Thomaston Main Street. “As part of this endeavor, we urge concert-goers to support the local restaurants by grabbing takeout and savoring delicious meals while enjoying the concerts.” For further information, event updates, and weather alerts, please visit Thomaston Main Street on Facebook at facebook.com/thomastonmainstreet.

IGBC to Mark 40th Anniversary

December 12, 2023

The IGBC is celebrating four decades of collaborative efforts. Watch the Facebook live here: https://fb.me/e/7tuY16eTV .

The event will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 12 at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. The public is invited to attend from 7-9 p.m. inside the Hager Auditorium. The event is free to the public with first-come, first-served seating. The evening will include a panel discussion with past and present grizzly bear experts from across the region who will share stories and reflect on the progress of the last 40 years.

“The recovery of grizzly bears in the lower 48 states is a conservation success story, and it underscores what can be achieved through effective collaboration,” said Jim Fredericks, IGBC Chair, and Director of Idaho Department of Fish and Game. “We are proud to reach this 40th anniversary, and we want the public to get a chance to hear from some of our dedicated scientists and managers who have devoted their careers to this effort.”

The IGBC has proven to be a successful model for agencies working cooperatively and coordinating recovery efforts over multiple jurisdictions, and substantial progress has been made toward recovering the species. In 1975, biologists estimated that as few as 700 – 800 grizzlies survived in the lower 48 states and that the population was declining. Today, biologists estimate there are more than 2,200 grizzly bears across four populations. The populations centered on Yellowstone and Glacier national parks are stable and increasing, and every year we see bears in places that they have not been in a hundred years.

The event will also highlight the importance of partnerships such as the IGBC’s Bear-Resistant Products Testing Program, which promotes effective food storage in bear country by evaluating products designed to reduce human-bear conflicts and increase public safety. IGBC began providing guidance and direction relative to bear-resistant containers in the 1980s with a goal of ensuring effective storage of attractants and minimizing human/grizzly bear conflicts. The testing program is a partnership with the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, the Washington State University Bear Center, and the Wildlife Management Institute. To date, the IGBC has approved nearly 500 products from more than 100 manufacturers.

“Conservation success creates new challenges,” said David Diamond, IGBC Executive Coordinator. “Partnerships are critical to reduce conflicts and improve human safety in areas where people and bears share the landscape.”

The IGBC consists of representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Geological Survey, and representatives of the state wildlife agencies of Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming. Native American tribes that manage grizzly bear habitat and county governments are also represented, along with other partners. The IGBC was formed in 1983 to focus on the recovery of grizzly bear populations and their habitat through interagency coordination of policy, planning, management, research, and education.

Since it was founded in 1983, the IGBC has:

Established and maintained Ecosystem Subcommittees in five grizzly bear ecosystems in Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming, the four western states in which grizzly bears currently exist: the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem, the Bitterroot Ecosystem, the Yellowstone Ecosystem, the North Cascades Ecosystem, and the Selkirk Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystem. The IGBC regularly holds public meetings across the ecosystems to provide a forum information about grizzly bear management and conservation.
Developed Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategies for the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem and Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. A conservation strategy for the Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystems is in development.
Supported the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team and other world-class scientific efforts to learn more about grizzly bears and what they need to survive.
Established an active and effective presence in education and outreach about grizzly bears. The IGBC’s web site (IGBConline.org) provides the public with accurate information about grizzly bears, the IGBC, the ecosystem subcommittees, their activities, scientific publications and studies, and how to avoid or minimize bear-human conflicts. The IGBC annually awards more than $42,000 in grants to help partners and agencies to disseminate consistent messages about grizzly bears and to promote effective actions and techniques to increase human safety and decrease the likelihood of a human-bear conflict.
Conducted in-depth research into the effectiveness and efficacy of several bear-related developments and products such as bear deterrent sprays, bear-resistant food and garbage containers, and portable electric fences to restrict bear access to attractants.
The IGBC has recently developed and published a framework and manual for the Bear Smart Communities program, which supports collaborative community-led strategies that benefit both people and bears by reducing conflicts and improving human safety in areas where people and bears share the landscape.

Beach House (formed in 2004) is the American dream pop and ethereal indie-rock duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.

French-born vocalist and organist Victoria Legrand and guitarist Alex Scally met amidst the buzz of Baltimore’s indie rock community in 2004. The pair soon formed Beach House and began crafting their combinations of drone-like organ sounds, electronic drums, tremolo-induced guitar, and soaring, dreamy vocals. Beach House issued their debut single “Apple Orchard” in August 2006, earning a feature from reputable music critic Pitchfork. The band’s self-titled full-length arrived in October that year, receiving critical acclaim from a host of sources and making a number of year-end best-of lists.

The duo’s sophomore album “Devotion”, issued by Carpark Records, was released in February 2008. Led by the single “Gila”, the album once again generated a stream of positive reviews, and charted at No. 195 on the Billboard 200. Following the release and subsequent worldwide tour, Beach House recorded a version of Queen’s “Play the Game” in aid of the Red Hot Organisation’s “Dark Was The Night” compilation. Legrand went on to provide backing vocals on fellow indie-rockers Grizzly Bear’s hit single “Two Weeks”, before contributing the song “Slow Life” to the “Twilight: New Moon” soundtrack.

Often dubbed as their breakthrough album, the band’s third full-length “Teen Dream” took the indie blogosphere by storm upon release. The record represents a sound honed in on, crafted, and long considered, melancholic melodies floating alongside half-speed percussion and clean guitars notes. Produced by the esteemed Chris Coady, the album exposed Beach House to a huge audience, aided by the singles “Zebra”, “Used to Be” and “Take Care”.

Ahead of their fourth studio album the duo released the single “Myth” on their new label Sub Pop Records in March 2012. A second single “Lazuli” followed in April, before the full-length “Bloom” was issued in May. The album debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, a remarkable feat for an independent band, and was greeted with critical acclaim. Without divagating too far away from their ethereal sway, the record builds upon their earlier releases, adding weight and an experimental edge to their distinguished and polished sound.

Live reviews

Sometimes it’s nice to be on the receiving end of a surprise, to have your expectations confounded. I had gone along to Beach House at the Riviera expecting a pleasant, if somewhat melancholy, show. I’ve been a fan of their music for a few years now, and I put the albums on during all the contexts in which I listen to music: walking around town, in the metro, peeling the spuds, having dinner, at night on the sofa along with a few bevvies. And while the music is good and often excellent — an aural treat, mesmerising, otherworldly — and Victoria Legrand’s voice is wonderful and uniquely deep and smoky, at certain times and in certain doses it lacks the required energy, gusto and vim to truly grab hold of me. My big surprise last Sunday was that Beach House live are better than on record. The washed-out drear that sometimes leaves me cold when I listen to their records is replaced by a dynamism and aggression that for me lifts Beach House into the realm of the great live acts I’ve seen.

Last Sunday wasn’t just about Beach House being louder* than on record. Loud does not mean good. You can be loud and appalling — Donald Trump is proof of this. Beach House were loud, but they were also a whole panoply of stuff which, as an old goth and shoegazer, tickled me as pink as the sleeve of Loveless. They were brooding, they were menacing, they were aggressive, creepy, disturbing, distorted. When you read any review of Beach House or go to their entry on Wikipedia a you cannot escape the D-word: dream pop. But live, my friends, Beach House are anything but dreamy. “Enter Sandman” eat your heart out, because Beach House are taking over your nightmare.

Road House blues!

Beach House’s sound rests on three pillars (to co-opt that contemptible and ubiquitous business-speak term): Victoria Legrand’s voice; Alex Scally’s guitar; and Victoria Legrand’s keyboards. On Sunday last, all three were not just standing tall, but had grown in stature compared to the restricted dimensions afforded to them in the recording studio. Sometimes compared to Dusty Springfield, Victoria Legrand is the lucky owner of a voice that is both unmistakable and so amazing that the word “gift” is almost always invoked. The voice’s standard setting is low and husky, but it does do high and sweet. Victoria Legrand uses her voice masterfully: it has the clout to knock listeners over the head with its sheer power, like one of those wannabe divas on The X Factor whose winning strategy is to scream the house down, but she uses it as a painter would her brush, dotting splashes of colour and emotion where needed and wanted. Live, the voice is spine tingling. Unlike on record, she let loose a few times and nearly blew a path, Gandalf-like, through the crowd. As a keyboard play, she’s no dunce either. Most songs are driven by her chords and arpeggios. Her rhythmic style and the pads and synth sounds she uses put much of the dream (or otherwise) in Beach House’s pop. She proves that a frontwoman who stands behind a keyboard isn’t necessarily a yawn-factor. She somehow manages to combine being static with dramatic dynamism — her headbanging as she plays and gesturing with whatever hand happens to be free draws the interested eye every bit as much as a hyperactive, twerking Ke$ha/Mylie/Taylor.

Another reason why Beach House should never work live (at least visually) is that Alex Scally sits down for many of the songs. Every bit as anti-rock ‘n’ roll as having your lead singer stuck behind a keyboard, his sit-down style is as distinctive as his bandmate’s voice. He rarely strums or bashes out power chords, but picks out notes to intertwine with voice and keyboard. Many of the songs (“Myth” and “Zebra” for example) hang on Alex Scally’s hooks and melodies, which range from the deceptively simple to the baroque. His sound is somewhere in between Robin Guthrie and David Roback, less spacey than the Cocteaus but less blue than Mazzy Star. It is remarkable that more than three decades have passed since the post-punk explosion but someone like him can still pull a unique and recognisable combination of style of play and choice of effects out of the air — because it is true that he really does sound like no one else. On the night, just like his partner in chime (!), Alex Scally’s sound was more robust than on record. Songs were driven with more urgency and aggression and there was even something of the tormented guitar hero in the way he bashed and twisted and turned the neck of his instrument. As you would expect, there were no five-minute solos, but a degree of improvisation added plenty of new twists to some of the familiar songs.

I read somewhere that Victoria Legrand is a fan of David Lynch. Indeed, Beach House have a song (“Silver Soul”) for which the chorus goes “it is happening again” — a well known catchphrase from Twin Peaks. There is something distinctly lynchian about the atmosphere the band create in a live context. More than once I looked towards the stage and felt I was in the Road House watching the house band, or even in the Red Room hearing secrets I could never understand. It’s the weird sweetness of their sound, their 1950s structures with a nightmare twist that transports one to the Bookhouse or the Black Lodge. I can easily see them soundtracking the new Twin Peaks, if it ever appears.

From a distance!

The icing on the cake of a great concert was Victoria Legrand’s humour and warmth. In between songs she built up a rap about the cheesiness of the venue (it has a fake oasis as its central bar) and then got on to the serious topic of what happened in Paris the week before (she was born in France). She thanked us for venturing out to see the band with all that was going on. We cannot thank them enough for keeping the flag flying for challenging and arresting live music.

*Being a loud live act in Spain has the advantage of drowning out the chatter of those that come to a gig to catch up with their buddies and generally chew the fat.

Report as inappropriate

Ever since 'Apple Orchard' way back in 2006 I have followed and revelled in the music of Beach House and watching them live just compounds what an amazing band they are.

This was my fourth time of seeing Victoria and Alex perform live, my first time at the Troxy and I was not disappointed, these guys deliver in spades and the ninety minute set is gone before you have time to catch your breath.

They covered a great back catalogue of tracks and obviously show-pieced many songs from their latest offering; 7.

Right from the opening of 'Leviathan' it was pretty apparent the Baltimore duo were on form and raring to give the audience what they had come for.

My only regret, purely personal, was they did not play the finely anthemic 'Irene' however, it did not detract from what was a real spectacle.

Having seen them perform before to muted monochrome sets or fairly simple lighting displays, the Troxy performance was backed by a stunning exhibition of light, colour, smoke, silhouettes and back-screen images.

A stunning amalgam of dazzling stage display and the finest dream-pop you'll ever hear delivered with utter professionalism and with just a dash of ad-lib which Beach House only serve to bring their audience even closer.

Never seen them live? Do yourself a favour and lose yourself in the presence and music of one of the best contemporary rock/pop/ambient bands around.

Oh, and by the way, their support band whose name I irritatingly missed but will endeavour to find out, were absolutely superb too, a really exciting drum and synth duo also from Baltimore who delivered a blistering set of high-octane electronica performed by two exceptionally accomplished musicians.

Thank you Beach House, 'til the next time, play on.

Phil Jarvis, aged fifty five and a quarter.

There are few bands that can match the surreal beauty of Beach House and seeing them live was something I had to do. I wanted to experience this dream pop duo as they were meant to be heard and not just how they were recorded on the album.

I went to see them at a smaller venue, holding only a couple hundred people. As soon as I arrived, there was a line to go in. Beach House was more popular then I thought. It took me a few minutes to get in, but I still had a good spot by the time the opening bands had played. When Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally took the stage the crowd went still. I don’t think anyone was sure what to expect. The recordings are so soft but strong, would the live performance be the same?

Just then the band started playing “Myth” one of their most popular songs. Everyone got into it. Most had their hands in the air, swaying, dancing, and feeling the music.

Victoria’s vocals were spot on the whole set, both moody and powerful. Alex was great as well playing a simple and overwhelming sound from his guitar. The show closed with the song “Zebra” a true crowd favorite. The song seemed to rock the crowd to sleep. Sadly, as it ended the band left the stage. I think we all could have listened to that set forever.

This was the first proper concert I'd ever been to, and it was spectacular. They really, really don't disappoint in their performance. Victoria is stunning and her voice is magic. The lights and everything were great too - props to their team.

When they started playing 'Walk in the Park', it made me so inexplicably happy I almost cried haha - and that was just their second song in! They played pretty much all the songs I was hoping they'd play: Levitation, Walk in the Park, 10 Mile Stereo, Silver Soul, Beyond Love, Space Song, All Your Yeahs, Elegy to the Void - god, they almost didn't play 'Sparks' and that would have left me so so disappointed.

Thankfully, they came on for an encore and that was their last song of the night. The performance felt way too short, and when Victoria came back on stage, she said something like "thank you for coming before we leave Melbourne forever". Ahhh forever?!

The only issue I had was with the crowd which seemed pretty dead (or at least the people around me), and they were more consumed with filming the performance than really getting into the music - which was unfortunate. The girl next to me was frigid and kept checking her phone like she couldn't wait for it to end.

Despite only forming in 2004, dream pop duo Beach House have already received great critical acclaim and are beginning to be recognised worldwide. Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, USA, the dreamy duo have been praised for their ethereal sound and indie rock talent. Hearing them perform live is a million times more magical than hearing them recorded: they are simply one of those bands that demand to be seen live, in their natural form. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally are a beautiful pair: Victoria’s phenomenal vocals, beautiful and soft yet strong, harmonise perfectly with Alex’s skillful guitar strumming. They have great chemistry on stage and really are a wonder to watch. One of the nicest things about their gig was the intimate atmosphere, mostly created by the rather small venue, that really suited the band’s style and sound. The room captured their sounds without losing any to muffled echoes. The crowd swayed, clapped and waved their hands along to such hits like ‘Zebra’ and ‘Myth’ but in large part, remained silent so as not to disturb a single moment of the magic going on on stage.

This is the third time I see Beach House, and frankly, it will be the last if they don't reinvent their live act. The first two times were at festivals where they played late, and people where drunk and chatty, so I was hoping that a designated act on a Tuesday evening would present a different experience, but unfortunately it didn't. The show is quite stale, and certainly not fitting for a standing crowd. I think it could be an enjoyable experience if it was at a concert hall with seating and impeccable sound, but when the stage performance consists of light and not much else--as per usual the three band members barely moved, and seeing their silhouettes was about as personal as it got--and the rest of the setting is essentially a rock-'n'-roll gig, there's just something that doesn't add up. On a positive note a few of the songs did have an extra layer of dynamism in their live form--Space Song and Lazuli come to mind.

Overall, though, I was hoping that third time would be a charm, but I left disappointed.

Dream pop duo Beach House have achieved a universal critical acclaim and global notoriety in their short spanning career. Thanks to the near perfection of the first three studio albums and proficiently designed live show, fans sell out the group's fleeting appearances as soon as tickets are available.

They were offered the honour of headlining the Big Top stage at Latitude Festival 2013 which is a known celebration of all things indie and performed with a surreal expertise. The glowing colours, impactful synth and droning bass tones came together in a truly indescribable way as Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally carefully led their audience through a detailed and well thought out setlist. 'Bloom' has been there most successful release thus far so therefore a large majority of the setlist was comprised of these tracks including immaculate versions of 'New Year' and 'Wild' whilst older fans were rewarded for their dedication with an airing of 'Zebra' and 'Silver Soul'.

One of my favourite band to listen to whenever because they chase the anxiety so efficiently and never fails to put me on a rocketship, directly to space. You feel the same calmness as when the night has fallen and all is asleep and silent.

Their live show perfectly recreates that. The atmosphere you feel in their music is recreated with the darkness of the room and the really amazing light show they put on. Often, on my favourite songs, the show hold my emotions very tightly. It was very magical and ethereal. But i am this enthusiastic about this because their songs already please me so much. It's deffo a chill concert, that can transport you to another universe. And even though it was my first time at the back of the room, i still enjoyed it very v much. so glad i was them and really hope i can see them again live!

What a great concert! They're surely great musicians and I had great expectations for this one! They covered more musics from the last 2 albuns, mostly from Depression Cherry (Levitation, Beyond Love, Sparks, PPP) as expected but they also played musics from the previous (and not only the most popular ones). Heartbreaker, the first music that Alex and Vitoria composed together, Wishes and Walk in the Park were an example <3 They managed to create the appropriate atmosphere, dazing and introspective, and the stars from the Bloom album cover projected behind them were just magical. Finishing with Irene was the cherry on top of the cake for me. I'm eager to see them again as soon as I can and thankfull to my lucky stars for being there <3

This is the third city I've had the pleasure of seeing Beach House in. Outside beneath the stars or indoors, this band always has the power to penetrate your very being and make you feel all the regret or nostalgia that the singer, Victoria Legrand is trying to convey with her deep, echo-ed voice. Older tracks had me singing along, almost clutching my chest to hold in all the emotion and unknown tracks had me excited at the prospect of a new album. Although the rest of the band, Alex Scally included were on the quiet side, Legrand's brief interactions with the crowd in between songs kept the show light-hearted and feeling more intimate. Definitely a band I will see live, again and again.

958ulysses 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Excellent day out despite mostly poor weather We did the Toba inlet tour starting at 7am on a very rainy day. We ended up seeing just one grizzly (along with a black bear), but not much can be done about that and the guide let us borrow binoculars to see the bear better. We were just glad we saw one! On the boat ride there and back, we also ended up seeing some porpoises (who swam around and under the boat), a humpback, and a group of 3 orcas, which we were thrilled to see. The covered boat was warm inside and also had a seating/viewing area on top which was awesome for seeing the whales. Our guide (Bratton?) was excellent, told us plenty about the area and the wildlife, and we had a great time all in all. We would definitely recommend this - highlight of our trip so far!

thuerten97 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles The most amazing grizzly bear experience! We went on a Grizzly Tour to Bute Inlet. It was mind blowing and amazing. The tour was perfectly organized, we stopped several times for wildlife (humpbacks, seals) on the way. As we arrived at the Bute Inlet, we got a very high-quality lunch served consisting out of a wrap, cookies, granola bar, dried fruits and coffee/tea/hot chocolate. All homemade. The bear viewing part was simply mind blowing. Super nice and friendly guides explaining the history, the behaviours of the bears and providing lots of information about their culture and the region. We saw several bears fishing for salmon, even a mom with two cubs. We had lots of time with the bears at several viewing points. The guides on the boat are super professional and the friendliest people ever. Yes, it is an expensive tour, but it is so worth every penny! We will definitely do it again!! We absolutely recommend it to make your trip unforgettable. Read more Written 7 October 2023
lucyd973 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles All we had hoped for - and more! Calm seas and blue skies gave us a picture-book backdrop for our visit to the waters around Quadra and the other Discovery Islands. The whales responded well and came to say hello - in the afternoon we were the only boat in the vicinity of a pod with possibly a new humpback on his/her first visit to the area ... that was very special. On our journey we also saw porpoises, dolphins - and a large gathering of "near-threatened" Steller Sealions "catching some rays" on a rocky outcrop. As we reflect on an amazing experience we are immensely grateful not just for the privilege of being with these animals in their habitat, but also because we learned so much about them from our knowledgeable and friendly boat-driver, guide and naturalist, Quinn. Oh, and the lunch was pretty good too! All-in-all, it was worth every penny and we couldn't recommend it more highly. Read more Written 6 October 2023

They took us to several hides, communicating between themselves to ensure we saw grizzlies, and shared their knowledge of the bears and the land which was fascinating. We felt in very safe hands.

Recapping a strong year of momentum for wildlife conservation

Happy 2024! As we turn the page to a new year, all of us at Vital Ground are immensely grateful for the ongoing support of our conservation community. Conservation contributors like you helped our year-end campaign nearly double its $175,000 matching challenge, positioning Vital Ground to hit the ground running on behalf of all things wild this year. Thank you!

While our work for wildlife continues at an urgent pace, here’s a look back in gratitude at the top conservation accomplishments that supporters like you enabled in 2023. It was another year of significant achievement for Vital Ground and the One Landscape Initiative, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Strengthening connections to the Bitterroots

Vital Ground continued to protect habitat in the most crucial places for long-term grizzly bear connectivity and recovery in 2023. In partnership with the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y), we completed two more conservation acquisitions in the key Bull River-Clark Fork linkage zone of western Montana. This natural bottleneck area for a rich diversity of wildlife helps connect the Cabinet-Yaak and Bitterroot ecosystems, with the latter still awaiting the return of a resident grizzly population. “Grizzly bear linkage across the Clark Fork River is important for the future of bears in the Bitterroot,” says U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Wayne Kasworm. “This project is a start and a stepping stone to protecting habitat for bears to make that journey.” Read more…

Protecting wildlife movement west of Glacier

While biologists estimate that more than 1,000 grizzly bears live in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) in and around Glacier National Park, the Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystem farther west in Montana is home to just 50-60 grizzlies. Studies have documented very little movement of bears (and the crucial genetic diversity they’d bring) from the NCDE west to the Cabinet-Yaak, but a new Vital Ground conservation easement will ensure key habitat remains undeveloped in one of the main pathways for that movement. In the Grave Creek drainage on the west side of the Whitefish Mountains, we teamed up with conservation-minded landowners to protect these crucial acres—which also provide range for wolves, moose, wolverine, Canada lynx and much more—in a part of the Northern Rockies facing intense development pressures. Read more…

Keeping the Yaak Valley wild and open

The Yaak Valley in Montana’s northwestern corner is rugged, remote country, home to a rich diversity of native wildlife and a small enduring population of grizzlies despite lacking the habitat anchor of a national park or protected wilderness area. With major support from the Wildlife Land Trust, Vital Ground expanded its conservation impact in the Yaak with an addition to our Fowler Creek conservation project. Covering a key portion of the valley bottom along a main Yaak River tributary, these protected forest and wetland acres see regular traffic from bears, wolves, lynx and much more. As the rampant development pressures long seen elsewhere in the state make their way into the Yaak, this key ground will remain open for all things wild. Read more…

Creating coexistence from Wyoming to Canada

Vital Ground’s vision of a connected regional landscape for wildlife will only come to fruition if bears and other wide-ranging species can move safely between their wild strongholds. That’s why conflict prevention partnerships form a crucial second prong of our mission alongside habitat protection. From electric fencing and bear-proof garbage across western Montana to bear spray education around Greater Yellowstone, Vital Ground supported 17 local partners performing crucial coexistence work in the communities and across the landscapes of grizzly country last year. Check out our partners page to learn more, or get a boots-on-the-ground view with our field notes story from a visit to one of our partners in southwestern Montana.

Habitat restoration helps wildlife thrive

While conservation acquisitions and easements draw most of the headlines, Vital Ground’s work doesn’t stop when we protect a piece of habitat. Our stewardship program includes active restoration efforts on many of our projects so that these key acres can provide the best habitat for wildlife possible. From replanting native trees and shrubs to building beaver dam analogues that reestablish wetlands, this behind-the-scenes work allows our projects to carry lasting conservation impact. Vital Ground ramped up stewardship activities on several projects in 2023, including the start of a large-scale restoration effort at the Broadie Habitat Preserve in the Yaak Valley, where we added over 1,000 new native plants. Read an update and check out a new video from that project here!

Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.

As part of ongoing efforts required under the Endangered Species Act to monitor the population of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the U.S. Geological Survey, in conjunction with the National Park Service, is working to inform the public that pre-baiting and scientific capture operations are once again about to begin within Yellowstone National Park . Biologists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team (IGBST) will begin field captures on August 28 and continue through October 31, 2023. Capture operations can include a variety of activities, but all areas where work is being conducted will have primary access points marked with warning signs. It is critical that all members of the public heed these signs.

Monitoring of grizzly bear distribution and other activities are vital to ongoing recovery of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. In order to attract bears, biologists use natural food sources such as fresh road-killed deer and elk. Potential capture sites are baited with these natural foods and if indications are that grizzly bears are in the area, culvert traps, or sometimes foot snares, will be used to capture the bears. Once captured, bears are handled in accordance with strict safety and animal care protocols developed by the IGBST and approved by the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Park Service.

Whenever bear capture activities are being conducted for scientific purposes, the area around the site will be posted with bright warning signs to inform the public of the activities occurring. These signs are posted along the major access points to the capture site. It is important that the public heed these signs and do not venture into an area that has been posted.

For more information regarding grizzly bear capture efforts, call the IGBST hotline at 406-994-6675. Information about the grizzly bear research and monitoring is available from the IGBST website: https://www.usgs.gov/science/interagency-grizzly-bear-study-team .

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
