A bear and her cub were spotted this afternoon at Trickle Creek Golf Course. The Facebook video taken by an employee shows the sow and cub walking across the fairway on the 12th hole. There is no human-wildlife conflict reported between these bears and people at the golfcourse.
The Kimberley, BC Wildlife Report Facebook page has also seen several posts over the past few days of a black bear and cub in the Townsite area, as well as a Grizzly bear in the Kimberley Alpine Resort area.
It is important, says WildSafe BC, to keep your garbage inside or secured until the day of collection. Garbage is the number one attractant cited in reports to the provincial hotline.
