Alberta s national parks bison herds thriving in the shadows of their ancestors, enriching local Indigenous culture Olivia Condon © Provided by Calgary Herald Bison reintroduction into the Waterton Lakes National Park took place in February after more than three years without a herd. Since the devastating Kenow wildfire engulfed 35,000 hectares of southern Alberta in 2017, Parks Canada and Waterton Lakes National Park staff have been waiting for the right moment to reintroduce bison to the landscape.

Wildlife expert infuriated by coverage of hiker s grizzly encounter

  LETHBRIDGE A wildlife and conservation expert said it’s unlikely that a hiker who was rescued following a grizzly bear encounter at Waterton Lakes National Park was ever in danger, and over-reacted out of his own fear.

Eric Macapus was hiking in the Mount Crandell area of Waterton Saturday when he came across a female grizzly bear and its cub. I hear a growl in my back, like what is that? According to Macapus the bears were about 12 meters away when he first saw them, and the cub began following him up the mountain. He said he scrambled to the summit, twisting his ankle in the process.
