Phil Timpany has been coming to Bear Cave Mountain since 1991. As a passionate defender of bears, he feels that, “These viewing opportunities are an effective way to show the value of protecting both the bears and their habitat.” and, “The success of any bear viewing program hinges on getting to know the individual bears. This is why most of our bears have names.”
Even after working with grizzlies for several decades, Phil is still humbled and awed by their presence. He looks forward to showing visitors that we and the grizzlies can co-exist within the boundaries of our wisdom and their territory.
As a professional photographer and film maker/ cinematographer Phil is involved in the production of several instructional videos on bear safety as well as presenting seminars on similar topics of bear behavior. He is also a skilled woodsman. You will appreciate his knowledge of ecology as well as his backwoods cuisine!
Bear Cave Mountain Eco-Adventures is committed to the process of having members of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation becoming involved in the operation at Bear Cave Mountain.
