Be Bear Aware!

Seeing a black bear is an exciting and memorable experience. When visiting, recreating, or living in or near black bear country, it is always important to be aware that you may encounter a bear at any time. Most conflicts between people and bears are the result of people approaching and/or feeding them or allowing them to obtain garbage and pet/livestock feeds. Learning the appropriate safety techniques will minimize the possibility of a conflict. You are responsible for your safety and the safety of bears.

Please help keep bears wild by not approaching or feeding them.
