Charlie Russell Estate Fund

Bears lost their best friend May 7th, Charlie Russell.

Our hearts are heavy as Charlie passed away unexpectedly post surgery.


Charlie dedicated his life educating the world how to co-exist peacefully with bears. His selfless giving and sudden death leaves his estate severely encumbered.



The family has setup the Charlie Russell Estate Fund to ease the costs of the estate and continue bear rehabilitation.

100% of funding after $30,000 will support bear rehabilitation centers across Canada.
