Free Workshops with Gillian Sanders of Grizzly Bear Solutions.
Spring is when bears become active again. Whether you’re living, working, or recreating in Bear Country, being prepared for encounters includes knowing how to respond, how to be prepared, and how to avoid conflicts. Coexistence is possible and necessary for the safety of all.
The Pemberton area is home to Grizzly Bears. Join us in learning more about being prepared for bear season.
Everyone Welcome!
