Parks Canada has reopened Kejimkujik National Park Seaside to visitors on Monday after more than a month of being closed.
The park had originally been closed due to an increase in black bear activity in the area of St. Catherine’s, N.S.
In a press release, Parks Canada said that human and wildlife safety is of the “utmost importance” to the organization and that they attempt to ensure the well-being and safety of both.

Parks Canada says the decision to reopen Kejimkujik Seaside came once their staff found a decrease in bear activity along the park’s trails and beaches.
The population at the park is considered to be healthy as a result of the largely undisturbed habitat and abundant food supply, Parks Canada said.
