BEAR AWARENESS

At home and residential.

Get to grips with what bear safety really means at home. We are all responsible for keeping our homes and community safe so that Revelstoke’s bears can stay wild.

I’ve encountered a bear outdoors, what do I do now?

If there is a conflict with a bear, call the Conservation Officer immediately (1-877-952-7277) and RCMP (250-837-5255). To avoid conflict with a bear in the wild, it’s important to be prepared

REPORTING A BEAR SIGHTING

Call the RAPP hotline if you see a bear.

Your first call should be to the RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) hotline. They will then share the information to the relevant people, such as the local conservation officer, and our team at Bear Aware. Reporting a bear sighting to RAPP does not mean that the bear will be harmed.

Please call the RAPP hotline if you see a bear in Revelstoke.
