About Us: Bear Spray Laws National Parks
Our Journey and Mission
Bear Spray Laws National Parks was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to become the ultimate resource for understanding and navigating bear spray laws across all national parks in the United States. We recognized an information gap online regarding this crucial safety topic, particularly as outdoor enthusiasts and park visitors increasingly encounter bears in their natural habitats.
Our journey began as a passion project by two AI-enthusiasts, Alex and Jamie, who shared a love for nature and a deep concern for public safety. They realized that while there were numerous websites dedicated to bear safety, none provided a comprehensive, up-to-date resource specifically focusing on bear spray regulations within each national park.
Milestones and Achievements
- 2018: Launched an initial version of the website with basic information on 50 national parks, marking our first step towards completeness.
- 2019: Expanded our coverage to include all 63 U.S. national parks, thanks to community contributions and partnerships with park rangers.
- 2020: Implemented a user-friendly feedback system, allowing visitors to report changes in bear spray laws and share their experiences.
- 2021: Introduced an interactive map for easy navigation and filtering of parks based on specific bear spray requirements.
- 2022: Reached over 5 million views, becoming the go-to source for bear spray regulations information.
