Do you feel confident that you know what to do if you encounter a bear? As Winter draws to a close it may be a good idea to improve your knowledge of bears by attending this free workshop.

Local bear expert Tyrone Danlock will be lecturing on bears: identification, habitat, what they eat, and safety. He will also present over 200 slides accumulated from his journeys throughout BC and the Yukon.

Bears most often respect human space far more than people respect theirs,” Danlock states. He asserts that there is no need to fear bears if one knows how to handle them properly.

Danlock is from the Comox Valley and has spent many years exploring Western Canada. He recorded his experiences in his book In the Wilds of Western Canada, which will be for sale at this presentation.

This is a free program and all are welcome!
