Reporting of Nuisance Bears & Bear Sightings
The Village of Grantsburg is implementing new procedures for handling nuisance bears within the Village limits in 2014.
First and foremost, education about bears is a key to help deter bears from becoming a nuisance in our community. Bears are attracted to the food sources in the Village. This means they like your garbage, your bird feeders and any other sources such as grills and pet food that are kept outside. Please visit the following website for suggestions to avoid conflicts with bears near your home: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/WildlifeHabitat/documents/bearpractice.pdf
The Village is encouraging that you keep your garbage/recycling containers in your garage or secured building and to remove all bird feeders/wildlife feed by the middle of April. Please do not take your garbage out until the morning of pickup day starting in mid-April.
If the bear are a nuisance in the Spring the Village Board is requesting that you call the Village Office at 715-463-2405 to report the issue. The Village will be tracking the number of nuisance bears and be reporting these sightings/nuisances to the USDA/WI DNR for action.
We need to work together to decrease the number of bear-human conflicts. We appreciate your cooperation.
