A huge thank you to Cole Janowski from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for spending this past weekend with us at the Theler Wetlands!

Cole shared vital, potentially life-saving advice on how to handle unexpected encounters with bears and cougars. Thanks to this presentation, our community now has the knowledge and confidence to safely coexist with our local wildlife. We truly appreciate your time, expertise, and dedication to keeping us all safe!
