Residential Waste and Wildlife in DR

PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE BEARS!

It is the height of bear season and there are many out and about in and around our special community as well as in Griffith Woods. This includes a mama bear and her cubs. They are in search of food before winter hibernation and if food is made available to them within the community, they will find it.

It is the responsibility of us all to ensure these special animals do not become habituated to residential waste. Bears will get into bins with scents or food items in them if the bins are outside. Please ensure bins are not put out until the morning of pickup and are secured and not accessible to bears or other wildlife at this critical time.
