Calling all campers!  We are seeing increased bear encounters in the area which while exciting to see, does cause long-term issues for both us and local wildlife.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many of these sightings are due to our behaviour and we have some quick tips to ensure our camping areas are used appropriately:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Always follow local campground guidelines
• Pack garbage back out with you
• Do not burn garbage on your campfire
• Only use official campsites
• Pack away your food at night
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If we all follow these basic rules we can continue to enjoy the great outdoors and the array of wildlife that calls it home.
Please Note that for any questions or changes please email stavewest@hotmail.com. Office hours are on Tuesday 10 am-6 pm.
