Our mentors
The Langen family at the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter in Smithers run one of the longest-standing modern rehabilitation facilities in our province. They saw the need for a wildlife shelter in the Bulkley Valley, Northern BC and are now looking at a wealth of knowledge and experience they have collected over the past 30 years. The Langen's specialize in the care of bears and ungulates and are leaders in successful black and grizzly bear rehabilitation.
Together we promote the coexistence of wildlife in our neighbourhoods, so injured and orphaned animals don't just have euthanasia as their only option.
