Reporting of Nuisance Bears

The Village of Grantsburg will be using the same procedures for handling nuisance bears within the Village limits as has been done in the past.

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 see the below handout for suggestions to avoid conflicts with bears near your home.

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 Wildlife Services at 1-800-228-1368 to report the issue.  The Village will be tracking the number of  nuisance bears and be reporting these 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.  

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
