Report a bear sighting--or unsecured attractant--in your neighborhood. Reports can be anonymous. They help experts know which bears are where and give them a chance to intervene. Early intervention can keep a bear from getting habituated and too comfortable around humans.

Report A Sighting. Please fill out any information applicable. Thank you, we appreciate your help in reducing human-wildlife conflicts.
