I would like to thank Viki Mather for her article "The ‘Bear’ necessities."
Junction Creek runs beside and behind our house. We often have bears in our backyard, and they cross the street to get to the other side of the road where the creek continues.
I have always worried about them and don’t use my backyard anymore. I have two small dogs that I never leave alone, and they are always on a leash.
Because of her information I am not as nervous of them and have a better understanding of what to do if confronted by a bear.
Thank you Viki.
