Sunshine Coast Bears
The Sunshine Coast is home to bears and a variety of wildlife. From the water’s edge to the top of Mount Elphinstone, from West Howe Sound to Egmont and beyond, is coastal black bear habitat. Occasionally even grizzlies find their way into the area. Bears can show up on hiking trails, in campsites, and even in our own backyards.
The goal of the Sunshine Coast Bear Alliance is to reduce negative human/bear interactions through education, replace fear with respect and promote safe coexistence between residents, visitors and bears,
Proper attractant management reduces
bear mortality
““We are at a time in our earth’s history when the future of bears and other animals now depends on our ability to demonstrate mercy, restraint and reserve. This can only begin when we have learned to master our own fear. Learning to understand bears would be a good start.
