BILLINGS - The interagency grizzly bear study team is set to resume research in Yellowstone National Park.

The group halted studies after a bear trapped near Cody killed a hiker. The investigation into that death suggested the group should give more notification before trapping the bears.

Over the coming weeks, team members will attempt to trap bears at several remote sites in Yellowstone National Park. Warning signs will be posted near all trap sites. The data they collect will help wildlife managers devise and implement programs to support the ongoing recovery of the grizzly bear population.

The trapping work is set to begin in early September and will continue through the end of October.
