Bears Problems Expected Early


The weather may be nice, but it may bring about an unexpected problem - bears.

Linda Wall of the Ministry of Natural Resources' Bear Wise program says don't be surprised if they come into town sooner than later.

"Bears will be coming out of their dens earlier," says Wall. "They will be looking for food and the food won't be available. We are anticipating that we're going to see a spike in human-bear conflicts quite earlier in the season."

Wall asks that you remove bird feeders from your yard as a precaution.
