#keepbearswild

I love the bears who share the North Shore with us. If you’re free on a Friday morning - learn how to be a good neighbour at this wonderful event. *************************************** #Repost @northshoreblackbearsociety with @get_repost ・・・ On March 22nd we’ll be presenting at @lynncanyonecologycentre as part of their ‘Wildlife Weeks’. Join us at 10:30am to learn about black bear biology, behaviour & how to respond in an encounter. We’ll also be discussing how to reduce bear activity in the community. Help us to keep bears wild! Hope to see you there 🐻 #northshoreliving #wildlife #keepbearswild #northvancouver #westvancouver #movingspirit (at North Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu9CaAah4Ou/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vtubluwfx2rl

Today we had a visit from Luci Cadman with the North Shore Black Bear Society! A very informative and engaging presentation! Students learning about basic bear biology, behaviour, and how to manage attractants! The highlight was the awesome bear tattoos at the end!

#Repost @yosemitenps ・・・ The biggest threat that bears face in Yosemite today is vehicle collisions. 27 bears have been hit by vehicles in the park in 2017 alone, including FOUR in the last three weeks (at least three of the four bears died). Bears are not the only victims. Mule deer, endangered great gray owls, amphibians and reptiles, and swarms of migrating butterflies are all casualties on Yosemite's roads. Drive the speed limit when visiting Yosemite, and keep scanning the roadsides ahead of you, especially at dusk and dawn and when night driving. Your cautious driving could save a life! #KeepBearsWild http://keepbearswild.org/vehicle-bear-collisions/ (at Sunshine Endurance Coaching)
