Keeping Bears Safe in Whitefish
Narrator: Anna walks up to Ranger John in the park. She points to a bear sign.
Anna: Hi, Ranger John! Why is there a bear sign here?
Ranger John: Hi, Anna! We are in Whitefish. Bears live in these woods. We must keep them safe.
Anna: Wow! Are they grizzly bears?
Ranger John: Yes, they are. Grizzly bears need lots of space to live and play.
Anna: How do we stay safe when we hike?
Ranger John: Stay on the trail. Walk with a friend and make noise. That way, you do not scare a bear.
Anna: Can we leave food on the picnic table?
Ranger John: No, food attracts bears! Put your trash in bear-safe cans.
Narrator: Anna puts her trash in a big metal can with a latch.
Anna: I want to help protect the bears and their home!
Ranger John: Great job, Anna! You are a great park helper.
