PoCo Trail
Location: ƛ̓éxətəm Regional Park (formally Colony Farm) in Coquitlam, BC
Photo Date: June 2025
Description:
American Black Bear found while hiking and birdwatching in ƛ̓éxətəm Regional Park. I think sharing photos of wildlife encounters is so important, as wildlife encounters are a large part of hiking. When I am hiking, I often find people getting much too close to wildlife in order to get a 'good photo'. This can be so dangerous, for people, but mostly for the wildlife involved. Whenever I take photos of wildlife, I make sure to keep a large distance and follow procedures for wildlife encounters which I have learned in courses through the North Shore Black Bear Society.
