WildWatch BC is free for everyone and always will be — the map, reports and safety alerts are open to all. Members and Guardians are the neighbours and local businesses who keep it growing, and every one of them gets real, honest value in return.

800+ visitors and growing across the Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky and Vancouver Island — real people checking wildlife activity every day before they hike, walk the dog or head to work.

Why membership?

This September, a mother grizzly and her three cubs moved between Madeira Park, Halfmoon Bay and Sechelt. A school kept students inside, a marina road closed, and neighbours pieced together where the bears had gone from scattered posts.

The free map showed every report. Members got the extra layer: fresh sightings in their own area first, what bears do in fall feeding season and when they den, and a weekly recap — without having to watch every group.

The map, reports, alerts and the RAPP line always stay free. Membership adds the planning layer — and keeps WildWatch BC running for everyone.

Everything in Guardian

Every month we'll tell you exactly what your support did — real numbers, like "your support helped alert 47 neighbours about 3 bear sightings this month." Not vague thanks; real impact. Once a year we publicly celebrate our Guardian of the Year. Yearly Guardian plans and custom arrangements always welcome — just ask.

Monthly plans: first month free, billing starts in month two. Secure payment by Stripe.

The safety side stays free. Always.

The live map, community reports, area alerts and the conservation hotline are open to everyone — no account, no payment, no catch. Membership buys depth and early access; it never gates safety.
