Learn About Bear Cubs Ready To Hibernate

Great NEWS
Our bigger cubs, 8 in total including Bubbles, are ready to hibernate. They are too lazy to get up in the morning and sleeping longer and longer. We are now cutting back their food and have placed these gorgeous Christmas trees in their enclosure. They will use these trees to block off their dens and get comfy for the winter’s snooze! Smart bear, eh? That’s 8 going down and 14 to go! 

Thank you
A very special thanks to Lynn at @DogwoodChristmasTreeFarm in Langley who has donated as many trees as we need for our bears (and the otters will need a few too). We are very grateful for their generous donation. Thank you so much!!! They have a huge selection of fabulous Christmas trees on their 20 acre farm (so many gorgeous trees! - check out their Facebook page!). 

Brandon and Ethan, our intern from the UK, went to do the Cut and Carry deed today.

Raccoons are one of the most familiar and adaptable wild mammals in Southern British Columbia. They have established themselves in forests, wetlands, farmlands, and even our cities, thanks to their clever hands, masked faces, and curious nature.
