Black bears are around us all year long. The two busiest times for bear calls is May/June when last year's Cubs are out on their own for the first time and in the Fall as the Bears pack on the pounds for Winter.
This Spring no bears were destroyed because of garbage habituation. Some of the reasons were the abundance of berries and the increase number of bear resistant bins. Having secure garbage and organic bins help keep the wildlife wild and our community safe.
The Recycling Society is offering for a limited time bear resistant bins for $100 which is discount of 50 percent off retail.
A secured bin not only reduces wildlife conflict, but also avoids wildlife fines up to $230.
