Wildlife Awareness and Safety Training

WildSafeBC – Wilderness Awareness Online Course

Do you spend a lot of time outside hiking and camping? Are you interested in gaining more wildlife awareness? Want to improve your outdoor wildlife safety skills by learning more about bears, cougars, moose, elk, wolves, coyotes and more?

We live in a beautiful and diverse province that is home to a variety of wildlife species. We enjoy some of the world’s best hiking, foraging, hunting, canoeing, back country skiing, and the list goes on and on. While we have these great outdoor opportunities, we must also be mindful of the fact that we share the outdoors with all types of critters. It is our responsibility to ensure that our recreational and cultural pursuits do not contribute to human-wildlife conflict within the province.

MNBC has partnered with the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) to offer a comprehensive online WildSafeBC course. The course will provide you with the knowledge and understanding to make decisions that will reduce conflict with wildlife in BC.
Once you register, you will have 4 weeks to access and view the lessons and quizzes. This comprehensive online course takes 2 to 3 hours to complete. The course is self-paced with knowledge-testing questions after each module. Upon completion, you will be able to download a completion certificate that is recognized by the Province of BC.

I have already learned much more than what I already knew. In some cases, myths dispelled even because the information is so current. The things we were taught a long time ago are no longer true. I just want to share that the information also validates what some of our BCMANR folks told me years ago (Yay, BC MANR harvesters!)
