Cortes Island is home to a range of wildlife, including black bears, cougars, and coastal wolves. As always, participants should abide by the “leave no trace” principles, which includes caching food and other smelly items (e.g., toothpaste, soap, deodorant, etc.) inside buildings, or in bear-safe storage containers overnight or while participants are away from the camp area. Wildlife safety will be discussed during an introductory orientation on Day 1 of the workshop.
