Exploring the Wild: Wildlife Awareness & Preparedness in Northeastern BC

Northeastern BC is home to some of Canada’s most breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. Whethe wheels, or motors, exploring our great outdoors has its risks. The backcountry is vast with an abundant amount of wildlife Encounters with wildlife are a part of the experience. Knowing what to do will help to ensure a safe and enjoyable adventure.

Wildlife Safety Tips

Travel in Groups – Wildlife is less likely to approach a larger, noisier group.

Food- Carry food in sealed containers and properly store at height when overnighting.

Garbage - Pack in/pack out. Never leave your garbage behind. Leave no trace - the untouched landscape is beautiful, no need to add any personal touches.

Fires - Respect all fire bans. Fires should be in designated campsites and if you must have one, ensure there is plenty of water or fire extinguishing methods to put out the fire Use the pour/stir method when extinguishing a fire with water.

Make Noise – Reduce the risk of startling animals by calling out, clapping, or using bear bells.

Carry Bear Spray – Always have bear spray accessible and know how to use it properly in case of a close encounter.

Keep Pets Leashed – Loose dogs can provoke wildlife encounters, putting both you and your pet at risk.

Stay Alert – Watch for signs of wildlife activity, such as tracks, scat, or tree markings.

Respect Their Space – Never approach or attempt to feed wildlife. Observing from a safe distance protects both you and the animal.

Before you leave.

Research the area you plan to explore Check the weather conditions and any wildlife advisories. Carry essential survival gear, including a first aid kit, flashlight, fire starter, GPS/compass, and extra food and water Leave a detailed itinerary with more than one person you trust.
