🐻 Wildlife Activity is Increasing in Our Area 🦌🐺

As warmer weather arrives, we’re seeing increased activity from bears, coyotes, and deer throughout the community. Living in the mountains means sharing space with wildlife, but a few simple precautions can help keep both residents and animals safe.

Please remember:

• Secure all trash properly and never leave loose bags outdoors overnight. Our local trash ordinance requires proper trash storage to help prevent wildlife encounters.
• Do not leave food, drinks, coolers, pet food, or scented items in vehicles.
• Remove bird feeders when bears are active and clean outdoor grills thoroughly after use.
• Keep pets supervised, leashed, or within fenced areas whenever possible.
• Do not feed deer or other wildlife. Supplemental feeding can cause serious health and safety issues.
• Never approach or feed bears or coyotes.

Wildlife that becomes accustomed to human food often loses its natural fear of people, leading to increased conflicts and dangerous situations.
