Be Bear Aware
• KEEP A CLEAN CAMP! Elimination of odours is essential.
• Look for bear tracks and droppings before you make a camp.
• Do not sleep without a tent.
• Maintain areas for cooking, food storage and cleaning fish about 200m (240 yds.) away from sleeping headquarters.
• Always store unburned garbage or food in airtight containers away from your camp.
• Ensure you pack out all garbage when you leave so you do not endanger future campers. This also helps keep our environment clean.
• When you must burn garbage, be sure to bury the ashes a distance away from the camp.
