Bears

It's that time of year when we see more bear activity in the Lac Le Jeune area. I saw a large boar on the Gus Johnson a couple days ago, and there have been reports of a large bear named Albert in the area :-) So this is a good time to remind everyone to be extra careful with waste management. Bears are attracted to the smell from garbage and compost bins. If they aren't successful in getting a meal then they are less likely to return. But remember, meal or not, the smell attracts them in the first place.
