It is almost time to say goodbye to what only can be described as a very tough year. Knight Inlet Lodge is looking forward to closing the page on 2020 and to once again be hosting guests at our lodge starting in May of 2021. While no one can be sure of exactly what the first few months of 2021 will be like there is hope that International travel to Canada will once again be possible at some point. When that day arrives, we intend to be ready to show off the grizzly bears of Knight Inlet in a safe and responsible manner.
Dr. Melanie Clapham continues to get a lot of interest in her grizzly bear facial recognition project. Here is a link to a story in the New York Times about what she has been up to. Knight Inlet Lodge is very proud to be a long term partner in this project as we have provided both financial and logistical support to Dr. Clapham since the beginning.
Knight Inlet Lodge is proud to be a long term financial and logistical supporter of the ground-breaking Grizzly Bear Id project. If you have visited the lodge over the past decade you may well have met Dr. Clapham as Knight Inlet Lodge was her home away from home for large parts of our season.
