Keeping People & Bears Safe in Squamish Squamish is located in prime black bear habitat, so whether you are hiking in the forest or strolling through a residential area, you may encounter a black bear. Seeing a bear can be a memorable experience, but to protect yourself and keep bears wild, it is important to understand how to behave around them. This requires an understanding of bears and their behavior as well
Learn bear talk If you encounter a bear… be bear smart! You can often tell if there’s a bear in the area. Bear signs include tracks, droppings (scat), or fur on tree bark. Trees may be clawed, bitten or rubbed. overturned rocks or logs, rotted wood that has been torn apart, fresh diggings and crushed vegetation.
Kasper
You can tell how a bear is feeling about your presence by reading their body language. A relaxed bear is one that doesn’t pay much attention to you. They may not have seen you, or you may be far enough away that they do not perceive you as a threat. What to do: Stay still and enjoy the show! When a bear stands up on their back legs, they are likely curious and trying to identify you. Grizzly bears may be encountered in and around Squamish. Visit BearSmart.com for more information on encountering a grizzly. Extra caution is necessary! If a bear appears to be a threat to human safety or is destroying property, call 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP). For more information on vacationing in bear country or living with bears, email us at info@bearsmart.com or visit us online at www.bearsmart.com
What to do: Talk quietly to let the bear know that you are not a threat and slowly move away. Remember: Bears are wild animals and while they may tolerate the presence of humans, they should never be approached or fed. A stressed bear may display the following behaviour: moving away, climbing a tree, salivating, yawning, skittishness or jumping at sounds or movements. A female black bear will often tree her cub(s) when she feels threatened. If you have invaded a bear’s personal space, they will huff (expel air loudly) and clack their teeth. Bears may also slap the ground, lunge toward you or make short charges. What to do: Back away, leave the area and allow the bear their personal space. Bears are highly intelligent animals, sensitive to their surroundings and experiences with people.
Bear facts All bears can be dangerous in certain situations. Be • especially careful around a mother bear with cubs. • downhill. They can run 15 m per second – faster than an Olympic sprinter! •
Bears are strong swimmers and good climbers.
Bears have good eyesight, good hearing, and a • keen sense of smell.
Bears generally avoid contact with humans, but in rare • cases they may approach hikers or campers, especially when they are attempting to access your food. Jeanie
