Tweedsmuir Provincial Park is a haven for wildlife, particularly for its remarkable bear population. The Atnarko and Bella Coola Valleys offer essential habitat for these magnificent creatures, continuing a tradition that has existed for thousands of years.

A unique ecosystem

From May to October, grizzly bears gather along the Dean, Atnarko, and Bella Coola Rivers. As salmon return to spawn each fall, Bella Coola and Tweedsmuir Provincial Park become home to one of the world's most significant concentrations of grizzly bears.

Your contribution makes a difference. Every donation directly supports the bear viewing program and conservation efforts in Tweedsmuir Park.
