Time to start thinking about your garbage

It won't be long now before the bears are up and about, in fact, in some areas, there will already be bears poking around. If you manage your garbage and other attractants correctly they will have no reason to come into your yard or your neighbourhood.

Check out the short clip Loyd Bishop had created last summer while we were out at the BC Wildlife Park participating in a demonstration of how easy it is for bears to get into your garbage. In this case we were using healthy food but the idea is the same.

Please note: The BC Wildlife Park is recognized by Bear Aware as a testing facility for Bear Resistant products in Canada. Contact bc@bearaware.bc.ca for information about the testing process.
