Bear sighting data provides the park with important data used to determine bear movements, habitat use, and species distribution. This information can be used in backcountry management and planning, field research planning, and educational outreach for visitors. Obtaining immediate information on bear-human conflicts allows managers to respond promptly to mitigate further conflicts. Glacier Bay National Park (GLBA) uses NPS Forms 10-405 and 10-406 to collect information related to observations and interactions of visitors of bears in the Alaskan back country.
The latest form for NPS Bear Sighting and Encounter Reports expires 2026-08-31 and is listed under ICR 202210-1024-001.
