1. Give wildlife space and never feed or harass them. Feeding wild animals can harm their health, change their natural behavior, and increase the risk of dangerous human–wildlife encounters.
2. View from a distance. Use binoculars, zoom lenses, or spotting scopes for wildlife observation—and avoid getting close enough to disturb them.
3. Secure all food and scented items. Store them in hard‑sided vehicles or bear-resistant containers, especially if required. This helps prevent bears from entering campsites.
