Beware of the Black Bear

The Department of Natural Resources wants to remind you of the danger of Black Bears this time of year.

Bears will be attracted to anything that smells like food, so be wary of what's in your backyard.

Regularly clean your garbage cans, and try to reduce garbage odors by rinsing food bags and cans before tossing them out.

Keep your BBQ and picnic tables clean, and don't leave pet food outside.
