Our role is to support communities to educate and engage citizens in reducing human-bear conflict.
We offer assessments and can help plan and implement critical communication and outreach strategies to help make communities safe for people and wildlife.
Reducing bear mortalities has become a major concern for companies working in bear country. Keeping up with the latest research, regulations and bear conflict solution techniques is essential.
Bear Safety & More can help you to meet your environmental responsibilities and become leaders in responsible development, safety and environmental stewardship. It can also create a sense of pride in staff who work for a company that takes an active role in conserving wildlife and increasing safety for workers.
For a company operating in areas where bears are present, the awareness training provided by Kim has been instrumental in creating a ‘bear safety’ culture within our organization. The training was practical and engaging; much more effective than a standard training video. I would highly recommend this training to any industry sector that works in bear country.
Industrial camps operating within bear habitat from April 1 to November 30 should complete a “Bear-Human Conflict Management Plan for Camps”, based on the size and duration of the camp operation. These plans allow a systematic check of BearSmart action steps to prevent conflicts.

The new Industry BearSmart Program provides strategies to reduce attractants at worksites and education tools for workers to minimize human-bear encounters. The program focuses on two primary components: the industrial camps where workers are housed and the safety of the individual employees working in bear habitat.
