Critter Care Wildlife Society: Rehabilitating Animals and Preserving Nature - A Hikerbabes Adventure

Five years ago, Monique Redmond, the founder of Hikerbabes, approached me with an incredible opportunity to become an ambassador and take women on exhilarating hikes. Little did I know that this decision would lead me to witness the remarkable work of organizations like Critter Care Wildlife Society. As an ambassador for the Hikerbabes Vancouver Chapter, I had the privilege of hiking for a cause and contributing to the efforts of Critter Care.


Hikerbabes: Empowering Women and Exploring Nature: 


Hikerbabes is a global movement dedicated to inspiring, encouraging, and empowering women through the beauty of hiking. With chapters spanning across the world, Hikerbabes offers a supportive community, monthly challenges, and an abundance of motivation for women of all backgrounds. The organization believes in the transformative power of nature and fosters a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Through Hike for a Cause events, Hikerbabes aims to make a positive impact in local communities by collecting donations for various charitable organizations.

March Hike for Animal Rescue

In March 2023, our Hikerbabes Vancouver Chapter embarked on a memorable journey through the East West Canyon Loop Trail in Golden Ears Provincial Park. Our purpose for this hike was to support animal rescue initiatives, and it was during this adventure that we discovered the exceptional work of Critter Care Wildlife Society. As hikers, we often find ourselves amidst the wild beauty of mountains and forests, which made supporting an organization dedicated to rehabilitating and releasing frightened animals all the more meaningful.


The Remarkable Work of Critter Care Wildlife Society: 

Critter Care Wildlife Society is an organization that goes above and beyond to provide care and attention to injured and orphaned animals. Their commitment

From bears to birds and rehabilitating these animals and ultimately returning them to their natural habitats is truly inspiring. From bears to birds and everything in between, Critter Care Wildlife Society has been at the forefront of wildlife conservation for years. Witnessing their dedication firsthand left a lasting impact on our Hikerbabes group, as we were humbled by the tireless efforts made by the society's staff and volunteers.

A Day to Remember: 

On March 26, 2023, our group of Hikerbabes embarked on the East West Canyon Loop Trail, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and a sense of purpose. Along the way, we collected a substantial amount of donations from fellow hikers, locals, and kind-hearted individuals who recognized the importance of supporting Critter Care Wildlife Society. It was an honor for me, as the ambassador of the Hikerbabes Vancouver Chapter, to present these donations to Critter Care and witness firsthand the appreciation and gratitude from the organization's representatives.

As the winter snow finally melts away, our bears have begun to wake from their winter dormancy period. Unlike true hibernation, black bears enter a state called "torpor." Torpor is a period of deep lethargy where their metabolic rate, heart rate, and breathing rate slow down significantly.
