Wild Wise Sooke shares wild wise tips for a safe Halloween
Here’s a few tricks to enjoying your treats and have a wild wise Halloween!
1. Use the buddy system for trick or treating
2. Always make sure an adult is with you/knows where you are going
3. Have an adult check your candy before you eat it
4. Bring candy and pumpkins inside at night so wildlife can’t get into them
5. Be mindful that wild animals may not enjoy fireworks as much as we do
6. Bring a flashlight and carry a whistle with you
7. Have fun and be Wild Wise 🐻
Enjoy your night trick or treating and feel free to share your best wildlife related costumes on our Wild Wise Sooke Facebook page!
