Every report
Every entry is moderated before it appears here.
Nothing matches those filters yet
Widen the period or clear a filter. If it happened on your street and it is not here, it has not been reported yet.
Why this exists
Why we publish this instead of just selling
Bear-attractant problems are documented by the people who live with them. Municipal reports and conservation statistics arrive months later and in aggregate, which is not much use when you are trying to work out whether the bear on your street is a one-off or a pattern.
So the record is public and free to use. Filter it, share a report with your strata council, quote it at a council meeting. We would rather be the company documenting the problem honestly than one inventing urgency about it.
Reports are moderated. Anything that identifies a specific household, or that is not a wildlife incident, does not get published. Read the guidelines.
Reporting a bear in conflict
This map is a community record, not an emergency line. If a bear is in conflict with people, pets, or property right now, call the BC Conservation Officer Service.
