It’s time to get a little wiser – bear wiser!
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is providing tips for campers this summer so you can avoid a bear encounter.
Plan your trip with safety in mind by learning how to avoid attracting bears, teach kids how to never approach or run from a bear and think about safely storing food and garbage at your campsite,
You should also keep dogs on a leash, as bears can follow pets back to their owners. Also, follow the advice set out by Ontario Parks or the private campground you’re in.
Never eat, cook or store food, cooking equipment or toiletries in your tent and clean up your campsite by cleaning fish away from the site, burning scraps and fat droppings and draining dishwater.
Learn how to keep bears away from cottages & campsites.
