It’s that time of year again- the bears are out and hungry. They’ve been particularly active on the North Shore Drive with trash cans targeted and the contents strewn all over.  Please secure your trash cans until pick-up day-  doing otherwise only re-enforces the bears dependency on trash for subsistence and that will eventually be harmful to them. If they cannot be persuaded to go elsewhere the state will trap them and move them. If the same bears return after that they are too frequently destroyed. Letting them feed on trash is doing them no favors……………….
