Bear Information Sign Up to Receive More Information Quick Tips: The best advice we can quickly give you, to help we humans co-exist with Bears in the community: Don't feed the bears, directly, or indirectly. This means don't put out food, for bears or any animals, as Bears will smell the food and go after it. Don't leave trash outside of your home, or in your garage if the garage has an opening. Bears go after anything with a scent - food, toothpaste, lotion, shampoo. Bears aren't the only wild animals that are affected negatively by human feeding. Please see Native Habitats for more information.
