BEAR FRIENDS: The Stewart (BC) Bear Interpretation and Information Center

THE STEWART BEAR INTERPRETATION AND INFORMATION CENTER:
North Western British Columbia and Alaska are prime bear country!
STEWART (BC) and HYDER (AK) attract 35000 visitors a year: the bears, the salmons and the bald eagles are the main reasons for tourist to stop here.
Both the GRIZZLY and the BLACK bear are at home here, and the rare Kermodeii Bear is sometimes seen along the highway. These beautiful animals deserve our respect and protection.
As a part time resident of STEWART, I know the beauty and the fragility of the "giants of the north" and their ecosystem.
This is my comitment: "protecting the bears through Education and Conservation".
To do so, BEAR FRIENDS plan to open "The Stewart Bear Interpretation and Information Center".
This center is intended to give visitors information on bear behaviour, how to avoid confrontations with bears, and accurate data on populations and ecosystem, through displays, movies, lectures, books, posters.
GET INVOLVED: to reach our goal, we have to rase funds, and need labor to run the center through the summer season. Contact me at jl.imbs@laposte.net
