Concerned citizens in Fernie have raised issue and started an online petition regarding the City of Fernie planned use of Herbicides in public spaces and parks.
The female grizzly that was previously relocated from Fernie made her way back to James White Park via the Fernie mobile home park on May long weekend and was later shot in a reported “defence of property” in a rural area west of Fernie.
It may seem like a small change, but even a few small area of rural sprawl in a critical connectivity area can have a real affect on grizzlies and other wildlife, so please register your opposition to this ill conceived proposal today HERE!
The RDEK has self-fill Sandbag Stations and is encouraging area residents to be aware of the potential for rising or rapidly changing conditions in area waterways.
