We think Bear Safety is one of the most important things to know when exploring the Alaskan landscape - especially for kids! Thats why we've devleoped the "Bear Safety in Alaska" sticker, to help remind kids (and adults) to be safe and aware in nature.

As the sticker says:

  • BE A NOISY HIKER....
    Sing, talk, wear a bell.
  • GIVE BEARS SPACE...
    Watch & photograph from a distance.
  • RESPECT A BEARS MEAL...
    Stay away from dead animals.
  • KEEP A CLEAN CAMP...
    Cook & store food away from camp.
  • LEAVE YOUR DOG AT HOME...
    Bears and pets don't mix.

Please submit your reqest here and we'll send you a free Bear Safety Packet which includes a Bear Saftey Sticker!
