Bear Aware


Sonia Walczak contributed some excellent advice to the recent email broadcast to the the Lac Le Jeune Conservation Association about bears in the community. She reminds us that "education is the key and many folks that move up here from urban centers may not know just how easy it is to live with the bears". Sonia shared a link to the BC Bear Aware website.

Are you willing to help to raise awareness in our community? Contact the Kamloops Bear Aware Community Coordinator who is willing to assist local volunteers in identifying and resolving bear-related issues. The responsibility to manage bear-human conflicts rests with everyone!

The trout are starting to run the tributaries into the lake - easy pickings for the bears in the area. 2 years ago there were a couple of large trout with obvious bear marks on them and in the area by the creek behind our house. Give some thought if you want to walk off the beaten track by the tributaries over the next couple of weeks.
