Her mission? Keep elk and bighorn sheep from getting too cozy near visitor centers and lodgings, where over-familiarity leads to chaos and danger. Inspired by Glacier’s success, this three-year plan aims to reshape animal behavior gently, letting nature take its course. Blue works on leash, never touches an animal, and her presence alone is enough to guide critters back to wilder, safer spaces—making the park safer for humans and animals alike.
