About Us: Bear Spray Runoff Water Safety

Our Story

Founded in 2017, Bear Spray Runoff Water Safety (BSRWS) was born out of a growing concern for public safety and awareness regarding an often-overlooked environmental hazard—bear spray runoff into water sources. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to educate and empower individuals and communities to make informed decisions about their safety in the great outdoors, especially when encountering bears.

The idea for our website stemmed from the realization that while there is an abundance of information on bear safety, many resources fail to address the unique challenges posed by bear spray contamination in water bodies. This knowledge gap prompted us to create a dedicated platform where anyone could access reliable and up-to-date information on this critical topic.
