Be Bearwise

BearWise Basics Never Feed or Approach Bears Intentionally feeding bears or allowing them to find anything that smells or tastes like food teaches bears to approach homes and people looking for more. Bears will defend themselves if a person gets too close, so don't risk your safety and theirs! Do not approach a bear to get videos or pictures. A baby bear is cute, but if the mother is close, she will be very protective and upset if she feels that her cub is being threatened. If you encounter a bear, remain calm and do not run. Make yourself appear larger and make as much noise as possible.
