Seasonal timing

Hyperphagia hits the Elk Valley hard in late summer. We tell you before it starts, not after.

What the map shows

Patterns across the reports neighbours file — which attractants and which hours.

Things that work

Practical waste habits and enclosure detail, drawn from actual installs.

We use double opt-in: nothing is sent until you click the link in the confirmation email. Your address is never sold or shared. A wildlife emergency always goes to the BC Conservation Officer Service RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277 first — read the community guidelines for how reports are handled.
