Drought and limited natural food sources can push black bears to travel farther in search of food, sometimes bringing them into our neighborhoods.
We can help keep bears wild by:
🌲 Securing trash and recycling
🌲 Bringing pet food and bird feeders inside
🌲 Cleaning outdoor grills
🌲 Never feeding wildlife
Bears are an important part of Colorado’s landscape. Understanding why wildlife moves—and reducing human food sources—helps us coexist with our wild neighbors. 🐾 Follow Colorado Voters for Animals for more about Colorado’s animals and the issues affecting them.
