From One Bear to Hundreds of Second Chances
Explore NLWS’s black bear releases over time, with grizzly releases noted where applicable. Each year reflects care, rewilding work, and animals returned to the wild.
1991 Release Season
Even one release matters. Here at NLWS, every animal returned to the wild represents care, commitment, and a second chance at a life that can continue where it belongs.
Here at NLWS, we see each release as more than a number. It reflects the care, feeding, shelter, medical attention, and rewilding work required to help wildlife return where it belongs.
Here at NLWS, rewilding is not just rescue. It is the work of returning animals to the wild, where they can live, forage, disperse, and continue the story they were meant to have.
Here at NLWS, donations help us provide food, shelter, medical treatment, and the steady care needed to give wildlife a second chance through rewilding.

Specializing in Bear and Moose rewilding, the shelter also accepts all other BC mammalian wildlife and assists with getting injured/juvenile birds of prey (only) to other shelters. Furthermore the shelter is an active participant in public education of co-existence and scientific research.
