Finding Food

After hibernation, bear cubs typically emerge from their dens in the early spring and are in need of food to replenish their depleted energy reserves. The diet of a bear cub will vary depending on its location and the availability of food in its habitat. In general, bear cubs will begin by feeding on the early spring plants and grasses that are beginning to emerge. These can include dandelions, clover, and other herbaceous plants. They may also feed on insects and small animals such as rodents, which are becoming more active as the weather warms up. As the spring progresses, bear cubs may also eat berries and fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, and apples.

As the summer months approach, the diet of a bear cub will expand to include a wider variety of foods. In areas with abundant salmon populations, bear cubs will often feed heavily on these fish as they migrate upriver to spawn. In other regions, bear cubs may eat a variety of other fish species or small mammals such as ground squirrels. Additionally, bear cubs may continue to eat berries and fruits as they become available throughout the summer months. Overall, the diet of a bear cub is diverse and will depend on the availability of food in its particular habitat.

It's A Wrap! July Bear Releases

July 2022 It's a wrap!

71 black bear cubs orphaned in 2021 have been returned to their home ranges. We traveled 20000 plus Km to get this huge job completed. We had bears from Prince George area, Terrace area, Burns Lake area, Smithers, Quesnel, Williams Lake area, 100 Mile House area, Cache Creek, Kamloops area, Princeton, Merritt, Nakusp, Trail, Castelgar, Grand Forks, Christina Lake, Vanderhoof, Ft St James, Ft St John, Kootenay Bay and Salmo to name a few.









July 1st Open House: Success!

July 1st Open House was a huge success after 2 years of pandemic pause.

Just over 2000 people made the trip to visit NLWS and it was great to see so many familiar faces, as well as meeting new people. This being the only day each year public is allowed to visit (as we need to keep the animals wild to be released) it is always a great pleasure to share with our supporters what all we can achieve thanks to your help!










Odin Needs Your Help


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.

Meet Tabor!

Our first arrival in 2021 is fighting for her life. The little female named "Tabor" by her rescuers had eluded Conservation Officers for a few days and was finally trapped by the reporting family in their horse trailer. Upon arrival "Tabor" seemed agitated, severely underweight but otherwise fine.

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 Our Way Back...

On our way back from a release we received a call about a young bear cub in in Ft St James. After all permissions were in place, we met with the couple that had the cub along the way. It was obvious that the cub had experienced some trauma. One side of her head was swollen and movement and vision was obviously impaired. We assume that she was struck by a vehicle. Nerve damage is tricky to heal and mostly takes time, often up to 6 month.

As a care giver this is really difficult as you form a bond with the knowledge that the outcome might not be positive. In "Roz's" case she was walking in circles for several weeks before slowly improving over time.

After keeping Koda company for a while, a few weeks ago Roz was well enough to join our big group. She still has some signs of vision problems, but we now feel comfortable with the improvements and hibernation will likely do the rest (as we have seen with previous bears).

 





 

Meet The Triplets!

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.

 




Meet "Roz" - Meet The Animals

Roz came to us a few weeks ago. We suspect she was hit by a vehicle as she could only walk in a circle to the left. But she could stop and eat so we gave her all the support we could. After a couple of weeks her movement straightened out, but her eyesight on the right is definitely impaired, hopefully not permanently. Regardless she integrated into our big group and is doing really well.

 



 

Meet Heidi & Clara

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. 

 




Meet Alex the Bear: Update!!

Many of you have been asking for updates so we will make an effort to update you on all, starting with those currently in care.

Alex arrived on April 12th in really poor condition. Thanks to the support of our Donors and Volunteers he has fully recovered and grown into a healthy young bear.
