Grizzly cubs are always good for a smile. These 6 month old cubs are orphaned and are raised to be released once they are old enough. The sibling males are called Rollo (playing with water) and Ragnar.
Watch until the end!

Odin lost his mother to a vehicle collision and got hit in the head himself. His sinuses are fractured and he has multiple cuts all over his face. He lost some of his baby teeth from the impact as well and one eye is compromised (to what extent is to early to tell). Thankfully overall he seems to be healthy and no other fractures or cuts were found on his body. Veterinarian Jaini Clougher cleaned him up and he now is comfortable in our intensive care unit. The hope is that his sinuses will heal on their own, but will recheck and if needed will operate. Odin has a good appetite and seems to respond well to the care he is receiving.
We need to grow our support team to facilitate the ever growing demand.
Helping critical cases such as Odin has become more of a challenge as our resources are stretched with the loss of Fundraisers such as our Open House for 2 years in a row. If you are part of our amazing support team, thank you for giving Odin a chance. With fires burning everywhere we expect more such cases in the coming months. So please share this e-mail with others and tell them why you are involved.
If you have not donated yet please consider doing so now. Wildlife needs you more than ever in these difficult times. If you love our cute pictures and videos, give Odin and wildlife like him a chance to be that happy animal and overcome the adversity that has slowed them down.

On May 30th, 5 young grizzly bears started their long journey home. After been given a chance to mature at NLWS for 6 month each bear was placed into individual transport boxes to travel from Smithers to Bella Coola. After a night of rest the last leg of the journey is completed via helicopter to a remote habitat chosen to ensure best possible survival chances for the young bears.

On March 24th we received a call from the BC Wildlife Veterinarian in regards to efforts to reunite a bear mother and her cubs near Grand Forks BC. The den had been accidentally compromised by road construction and the sow had taken off with one cub, leaving two cubs behind. Hopes were high to reunite cubs and sow and together we worked out a feeding schedule to keep the cubs safe. But after a few days we all had to concede that the mom was not returning and the decision was made to give them to our care.
Peter and Angelika met wildlife officials in Kamloops and took the cubs back to NLWS. The two male cubs are named Brann (Fire) and Loki (Trickster) and have settled in well to their new home. They will remain at NLWS until June of 2022 when they will be released back into a suitable area in the Grand Forks region.

She started eating immediately (we start very light and bland after an animal is starved) and all seemed well. In the evening we walked in and she was having severe seizures.
That was followed by a night holding her through multiple seizures, hoping that supporting medication would help her make it through. The seizures finally stopped and now we can only hope that IV fluids and rest will do the rest.

On August 19th, we received a very unusual guest. We got a call from the Nisga'a Lisims Enforcement Officer that they were in possession of a cub that was orphaned after his mother and sibling were shot illegally. With the permission of the BC Conservation Officers we went to meet the Nisga'a Officers. We had been told that this cub had unusual markings, but we where unprepared for how unusual.
We have since reached out and searched the internet, but have yet to find similar markings (white feet). It is assumed that this cub carries Kermode Genes that manifested in an unusual way. The Nisga'a officers named him Winnie (The name is of Welsh origin, meaning fair one; white and smooth; soft; happiness; or fair and pure). After initially being a bit depressed the cub has settled in well and is friends with Koda.

Saving the Tappen Triplets was a lengthy affair and required a huge amount of dedication from NLWS Volunteer Lydia Koot and the Tappen residents. The first cub, a female named Sumac, was captured on May 2nd, Her brother Dylan on May 8th and the third brother on May 17th. The rescue team never gave up and our amazing transport volunteers ensured swift travel.
It always makes our hearts sing how many people are involved in rescuing wildlife in need. All these efforts are backed up by more volunteers and of course our Donors that allow NLWS to exist.

Just like with the deer natural feeds are very important for our bear cubs. Not only should they be used to natural sources, but the actions of bending branches and stripping of berries hones muscles, helps with balance and keeps the cubs busy. The physical and mental stimulation is invaluable

On April 24th & 27th these sisters arrived at NLWS in desperate need of help. Their brother unfortunately did not survive. Named Heidi and Clara they both had suffered greatly from malnutrition and dehydration. Especially Clara was for a long time in critical condition.
Today both sisters are rambunctious and full of energy, playing enthusiastically with the other cubs.
