Be bear smart!
There seems to be increased bear activity in Manitoba this year. Be prepared for encounters with bears while traveling on the Rossburn Subdivsion Trail. Don’t forget – you are in their territory so please act accordingly and respectfully!
Find more resources about bear safety here or download the brochure ” Coexisting with Black Bears” published by Manitoba Government.
What to do?
• Be alert
• Make noise
• Travel in groups
• Keep dogs on leash
• Keep bear deterrent spray handy & know how to use it
• Store food, garbage, toothpaste and clothes used while cooking where bears can’t access them.
• Never leave food unattended
• Leave only footprints behind (not garbage)
