BearSmart preaches prevention in avoiding close encounters
CROWSNEST PASS – If you go out in the woods today…
With the Victoria Day (May Long) weekend upon us, and countless campers making their way into the forests and mountains, be sure to remember whose territory you’re visiting.
Bears are well out of hibernation by this point, and there have been a number of close encounters with humans in the Banff and Jasper area in recent weeks.
There have been no such encounters in the Crowsnest Pass area to this point, and that’s something the Crowsnest Pass BearSmart Association is working hard to maintain. But they can’t do it without your help.
