BE WISE

WELCOME TO WILD WISE

We are a volunteer-driven, community-based educational initiative committed to reducing human-wildlife conflict and fostering peaceful coexistence through awareness and education.

 

The program began in Sooke with support from the District of Sooke, originally focusing on mitigating human-bear interactions.

In 2018, we expanded our reach to neighboring communities, establishing Wild Wise East Sooke, Shirley, Otter Point, and Metchosin. At the same time, we broadened our educational scope to address coexistence with all local wildlife species.

In 2021, we proudly became a registered society, solidifying our commitment to long-term community education and wildlife stewardship.

Our growth has continued steadily. In 2024, we further extended our services to include the City of Langford and the City of Colwood.

We are proud to collaborate closely with the BC Conservation Officer Service, local RCMP, and the municipalities of Sooke, Metchosin, Langford, and Colwood to deliver programs tailored to the unique needs of each community. In addition, we partner with local schools to offer in-class educational sessions designed to inspire respect for, and interest in, the natural world.

Our partnerships with Royal Roads University and the University of British Columbia support ongoing research into human-bear interactions. These collaborations helped us provide data-driven insights and educational reports to the District of Sooke, aimed at fostering more effective community-wide coexistence strategies.

To stay connected with the public, we maintain active Facebook and Instagram pages where we share timely and relevant information. We also maintain a strong presence at community events—including fairs, festivals, and markets—and regularly host educational workshops and public information sessions.

Our Mission:
Wildlife education to conserve, coexist, and live wild with nature.
