Fraser Valley – They’re awake! That’s the message from WildSafeBC.
While some bears have already become active in milder parts of the province, more bears will be emerging in May. Over 80% of a black bear’s diet is plant based and over 70% for grizzly bears. Bears will be seeking out lush grasses and sedges and they may be seen foraging for dandelions along roadsides. Use caution and reduce your speed in bear habitat. There may be bears and cubs crossing roadways to access food and other habitat needs.
Bear sighting along trails have been reported since the warm weather came in late April.
