Bear Awareness Week
Celebrate North Cascades grizzly bears with Conservation Northwest as part of nationally recognized Bear Awareness Week.
May 10-16 in Bellingham and Seattle
This nationally celebrated event is dedicated to celebrating bears and bear habitat around world and in the United States. We are fortunate here in the Northwest to have in the Cascades one of the last remaining areas in the lower 48 states that still supports grizzly bears. We in the Northwest have a unique opportunity to restore the North Cascades grizzly, a North American icon, and to become bear aware. Last year, Governor Gregoire proclaimed May 12 - 18 Bear Awareness Week in the state of Washington.
This year, Bear Awareness Week will take place May 10 - 16. Please check back for event listings!
Help us celebrate our North Cascades grizzlies by joining in the fun in Bellingham! Local businesses will feature bear-aware specials, the Grizzly Bear Outreach Project teaches us how to camp in bear country, and Groovin' for Grizzlies gets your groove on!
