Bear in Glenrosa
I have had a black bear in my yard on McLeod road 3 times in the last week. Once for garbage and twice for ???
He is not intimidated by my noise or my dogs. Just wanted to let all the parents know!!

Bears are really common in the area. They were there when I wasa kid in the 70's and 80's and when I visit my parents, my kids get to see him in my parents backyard,

Re: Bear in Glenrosa
I think it is still a good thing for specific locations of where bears are hanging about to be noted when they are in the area of three schools such as in this OP.
It's possible to do all the right things and still get a bad result.

Bird feeders are a huge draw for the bears too, so if you have them up right now, take them down, the birds will be okay :-)

He was there the other two times for garbage as well - just didn't find it. If you leave garbage out you run the risk of attracting bears and they will keep coming back to find more "free food".
Bottom line - don't leave your garbage out......
