Cyndyn Bridge Memorial Bear Box in Yellowstone

Thank you to all who donated! Cyndyn's Bear Box was placed in the Summer of 2022. 

Cyndyn's Bear Box lives in the Madison Campground in Yellowstone National Park.

Our beloved Cyndyn Ann Bridge left her body's worldly constraints at home on May 13, 2021, after a two-year battle with cancer. She loved the outdoors and camping, with her favorite spot being Yellowstone National Park.

In lieu of flowers and in remembrance of Cyndyn's love of Yellowstone and the many memories of camping here, the family would like to honor her by sponsoring a Bear Box in Yellowstone.

Cyndyn's Bear Box will permanently "bear" her name and inscription in a Yellowstone Campground.

 

Preventing bears from obtaining human food is one of the top priorities of Yellowstone’s wildlife managers. Bears that gain access to human food eventually become more aggressive towards humans and may need to be removed from the population. Installing bear-proof food storage boxes in Yellowstone’s roadside campgrounds improves visitor safety and prevents bears from accessing human food.
