BLACK BEAR
Yesterday, Saturday the 23rd, early in the morning, we got a report from one of our regular walkers of a large black bear in the meadow high atop Cascades West.
First, this is excellent! This is the wildlife meadow is doing its job as habitat! Fantastic!
Second, now is a great time to remind folks that the signs out there are for the best interest of the wildlife and the visitors.
We really need folks who are hiking with their beloved pooch to hike on a leash. Honest, bear and dog are not like chocolate and peanut butter. Also, we need to keep dogs on the road and trails and out of the meadow. Same thought on keeping folks separated, for everyone's best interest! Thanks guys!!!
