Our bears are active right now

Wintergreen is a Bear Smart Community

The primary rules are simple and clear:

No bird feeding from April 1 to December 1, never leave food or garbage outdoors, be aware that open doors and windows risk getting a bear inside, and lock all car doors because bears can and do open vehicle doors.

These "Be Bear Wise" refrigerator magnets are available to help property owners and guests remember this is bear country. The free magnets are available at WPOA's office building.
