A Pitkin County grant review committee is recommending giving just $500 this year to a rehabilitation center that cares for local orphaned black bears.
A Silt-based wildlife foundation asked for $5,000.
Pitkin County commissioners will meet Tuesday to review the grant committee's recommendations.
According to the Aspen Daily News (http://tinyurl.com/apdp6eg), the cubs were orphaned by euthanization of their parents, fatal car accidents and one illegal killing in Redstone.
