Sierra NevadaWilderness FoodStorage Requirements

Sierra Nevada

To avoid negativeencounters with bearswhile visiting theSierra Nevada wilderness:

NEVER give food to a bear

Carry and use a food storage canister*

that is approved by the Sierra Interagency

Black Bear Group (www.sierrawildbear.gov).

During your trip, be sure that your food, toiletries, and

trash are stored properly at all times and that your canister*

is closed properly—bears are active 24 hours, day and night.

If you do see a bear, do not approach it.

While not everyone will encounter bears in the wild,

everyone has an opportunity to save bears by keeping them wild.

Ensure that all of your food, toiletries, and

trash fit in the canister. Most negative bear

encounters occur due to overflow food.

To do this:

Remove all your food and toiletries from

their original packaging to reduce bulk.

Pack your canister* before leaving the permit

office to be sure that all items fit inside.

*For stock users, this refers to a bear-resistant pannier.

This map was designed and produced by USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region Geospatial Services,in partnership with the National Park Service and Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group, 2008.

All previous Wilderness Food Storage Requirement Map versions are obsolete

This map is designed to assist wilderness users in planning their food storage strategies. It is not designed, nor should it be used for road or trail navigation.

The USDA Foreset Service is and equal opportunity service provider and employer.

United States Department of Agriculture

Forest Service

Effective March 2008

Wilderness Food Storage Requirements

Proper food storage required everywhere. Canisters are

required in purple areas shown on this map, and

strongly recommended in all other areas.
