Whitebark pine stands provide high-value habitat for grizzly and black bears, red squirrels, and Clark’s nutcracker. Whitebark pine seeds are large (approximately 180 mg) and exceptionally nutrient-rich, containing roughly 52% fat, 21% carbohydrates, and 21% protein. While most research on grizzly bear use of whitebark pine ecosystems has been conducted in the United States, relatively little work has occurred in British Columbia, and even less in northern BC. The BVRC aims to begin exploring these wildlife–whitebark pine relationships in northern BC.
