TIPS & TRICKS

BEAR-PROOF YOUR PROPERTY

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY & OUR BEARS. Remember, It’s their home, we’re just living in it. 

 

1. Bring in trash cans or at least tie them down. Also, consider buying a bear proof can. 

2. If at all possible, don’t put your trash outside, especially trash that may smell, like food trash.

3. Try to keep brush cleared from around your home.

4. Leave the bears alone, take away their food source and watch from a distance.

5. Do NOT feed them, follow them, or try to  take a photo with them.

FIREWISE

Take personal responsibility and prepare long before the threat of a wildland fire so your home is ready in case of a fire. Create defensible space by clearing brush away from your home. Use fire-resistant landscaping and harden your home with

fire-safe construction measures. Assemble emergency supplies and belongings in a safe place. Plan escape routes and make sure all those residing within the home know the plan of action.
