2. Bear sightings rise in Bozeman as FWP urges properly storing attractants (fairfieldsuntimes.com) — Bozeman residents are being urged to secure trash, birdfeeders, and other food sources as bear activity increases around town heading into hibernation season. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks says recent sightings reflect hungry bears roaming neighborhoods, and early reporting plus bear-proof garbage cans from the city can help prevent dangerous conflicts and euthanizations.

4. University Human Resources Analyst (montana.edu) — Montana State University is hiring a full‑time University Human Resources Data Analyst position based entirely on campus in Bozeman, with no remote option. The role focuses on HR data accuracy, reporting, and system improvements, offers benefits and hourly pay starting at $28, and begins reviewing applications September 15, giving qualified locals time to apply.
5. Bozeman company collaborates on citizen preparation ad (bozemandailychronicle.com) — A Bozeman media studio helped create a new short film about an immigrant preparing for the U.S. citizenship test, using familiar local spots like the historic Federal Building, Gallatin Gateway's Westerner, and the Yellowstone River as backdrops.
