Skagway Road bear viewing a NO NO!

In collaboration with the Carcross & Tagish First Nations, CT RRC, Environment Yukon and Parks Canada we will be monitoring human interactions with bears and educating about bear behavior and the dangers of food conditioning this summer along the Carcross and Skagway Roads. In response to concerns from all partners and residents in the area about road safety and negative human-bear interactions we will be encouraging tourists and tour companies not to use the highway shoulders for bear viewing and not to feed the bears. Please stop and talk with one of our monitors if you see them. Our brochure can be downloaded here.
