🐻 Be Bear Aware

A hungry bear isn't necessarily an aggressive bear.

By early September, black bears enter hyperphagia—an intense feeding period before winter.

During this time, they may travel farther and spend more time foraging as they build the fat reserves needed to survive the winter.

Bears will also repeatedly return to areas where they've found food.

is a shared responsibility – we all have a role to play.

Here's what you can do:

✅ Keep a tidy campsite
✅ Store food, coolers, and scented items securely in your vehicle
✅ Use the wildlife-proof garbage bins
✅ Keep pets under control
✅ Watch wildlife from a safe distance

🚫 Feeding wildlife is prohibited and can lead bears to seek food from people rather than natural food sources, putting both bears and visitors at risk.

💚 Every action helps keep wildlife wild.

Salmon are returning to our rivers! Apetji petaatig plamoog! 🐟

Our first salmon of the season arrived on June 26, just days after the water blessing ceremony on June 21.

Throughout the summer and fall, the Resource Conservation team tracks salmon returning to the Point Wolfe and Upper Salmon rivers using specialized antennas. Each fish carries a unique ID, allowing us to follow its journey.

So far, 26 salmon have returned! Last year, 101 salmon made their way back to the park’s rivers.

🐟 What's your prediction? How many salmon do you think will return this year?

Share your guess in the comments, then stop by the Fundy General Store throughout the season to follow the count and see whose prediction comes closest! 📈

Join us tonight at 8 p.m. at Fundy National Park's Salt & Fir Centre for a special film screening of Returning to Ulukhaktok. This event is part of Rooted: Indigenous Stories Screening Series presented by CBC and Parks Canada.

This short documentary tells the story of six kids from a small community in the Arctic, who feel disconnected from their Inuvialuit identity — until they go on a journey to connect with their past and discover a connection that runs deeper than they thought.

A moderated discussion will take place after the film screening to bring in the local context. Hope to see you there!

Note: This film will be shown in English with English captions. Please note that a French language film will be shown on August 10th as part of the same series.
