Project Grizzly Balance || Ep. 1
What does it mean to raise a family and livestock in the shadow of grizzly bears? In this gripping episode, Mark sits down with Brittney Semenoff, a rancher and mother navigating the raw realities of rural life in British Columbia’s bear country. From heart-pounding predator encounters to the quiet resilience of parenting in nature, Brittney shares what it truly takes to coexist with grizzlies and wolves while protecting her animals, her children, and her way of life. Together, they unpack the emotional toll of living alongside apex predators, the limitations of compensation programs, and the urgent need for wildlife management strategies that respect both ecological balance and human safety. This episode is a raw, honest look at the frontlines of coexistence—where conservation meets courage, and every decision carries weight.
“Something needs to change number wise.” - Brittney Semenoff
