## Resource

Bear encounters are heating up near Spit Road in Squamish—trail closures and warnings are in place after a runner was charged by a mama bear, sustaining minor injuries. This isn’t an isolated incident: two others were charged in March, and the area was shut down last fall too. Black bears are active now, waking from hibernation and staying out until November. Conservation officers receive thousands of calls yearly—this is serious. The wetland zone near the Squamish River and rail line is a hotspot. Stay off the trails, heed the signs, and keep your distance—wildlife safety isn’t optional here. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
