(file photos of one of two bear traps currently in Port Hope)
There have been no confirmed reports of bear sightings since May 5th which MNRF say is a good indication the bear has moved on.
With the warmer weather food, sources (berries crops etc) naturally increase which tends to keep bears out of the urban areas.
MNRF continue to advise that attractant management is very important around urban properties.
Visit the below MNRF site for information on bear attractants and preventing bear encounters.
