Halloween is over and our Bear Smart Community would like to encourage you to put your pumpkins away. For our bears, who are having the last big forage before hibernation, pumpkins represent a tasty and nutritious snack! They are not alone in this knowledge, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and rodents also like pumpkins.
We have been pleasantly surprised that the fall bear activity is rather quiet, although we have had a few bear sightings in the Village in the past week. Please help us to keep attractants out of sight, by bringing your pumpkins inside, and turn those Jack-o’-Lanterns into a tasty family meal or disposing of them in your green waste on Friday.
