Mark Franchetti of the
Sunday Times visited us to see his first wild
bear.
"If you are inclined towards
experiencing pristine wilderness, you will be hard-pressed to beat a
few days at the Grizzly Bear Ranch in British Columbia’s Selkirk
Mountains. Or if, like me, you are an urban beast whose love affair
with the wild is limited to watching David Attenborough, then you
should try it, for it is quite an eye-opener." Click here for more +++
Patrick
Barkham visited for
the Guardian.
"Their
bear-watching ranch consists of four wooden cabins in a
beautiful meadow by a shimmering
river. In the winter months, it is completely snow-bound, but Strauss
takes bookings for more hospitable times: it is easy to see black bears
emerge from hibernation in spring (May and June, when I visited) while
midsummer is best for a general wilderness break. You are most likely
to see grizzlies if you wait until autumn, when they descend from the
mountains to swish their paws through the rivers in search of spawning
salmon." Click here for more+++
