Why ?
In 2024, POLEWARDEN was founded with a clear mission in mind: Protecting wildlife while preserving critical utility infrastructure.
Our patented "Bear Guard" is a physical climbing deterrent designed to wrap around utility poles, trees and other suitable structures. Its adjustable paddles create a barrier that disrupts an animal's ability to grip and gain leverage on the structure, while still allowing unrestricted access for authorized personnel. ​
​
The "Bear Guard" system provides a practical, non-electric, chemical-free and efficient method for reducing bear-related incidents without impeding the work of technicians. By prioritizing the safety of both wildlife and utility workers, we have set a new standard for conservation efforts and infrastructure maintenance.
