How can we keep bears wild, minimize human-bear contact and give back to our partners? By participating in the Fall Fruit Fest! 🍂 🍎 From Sept. 6-8 Recycling and Environmental Action Society (REAPS) Prince George is encouraging our community to remove 50,000 lbs of ripe fruit to ensure bears pass safely through without reasons to stay as they prepare for the winter. Fruits can then be donated to places like: Northern Lights Estate Winery, Cold Front Cidery, Northern Lights Wildlife Society and Slaughterhouse Craft. A win-win in our books!
