Lucy, matriarch of the Khutzeymateen Sanctuary grizzlies, reigns supreme in a very exclusive wilderness. Along British Columbia’s rocky Coastal mountain range between Portland Inlet and Work Channel, Lucy lives in a valley of ancient old growth rain forest. Unknown and unheralded, she is probably the most photographed grizzly in the world. The area has the highest density of healthy, stable grizzlies in British Columbia.
