On Friday's bears go fishing... Not only are fish

On Friday's bears go fishing...

Not only are fish a major factor in the diet of BC bears, but the bear-salmon relationship actually effects the ecosystem.

Bears play an important role in moving nutrients on land...bears carry salmon inland from the water and act as gardeners by fertilizing the ground with fish carcass which helps trees and other plants.*

This lovely bear was viewed on one of our trips and it was magical to see him in action as he caught this fish.

Today is the International Day of Forests

We are privileged and fortunate to work in vast areas of BC forests including the Great Bear Rainforest. We always endeavour with the greatest care and respect on our expeditions.

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 March the International Day of Forests in 2012 to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of all types of forests. Countries are encouraged to undertake local, national and international efforts to organize activities involving forests and trees, such as tree planting campaigns.

The theme for 2022 is "Forests and sustainable production and consumption."
