Are there “Bears” in Lula, to be exact there is ……. a black bear was seen off of Pine Street near the Wellness Park. Yes, we contacted Georgia Department of Natural Resources and they pointed out that it’s not so unusual to see bears in our rural setting especially this time of the year. The offered BEARWISE BASICS for the community to keep in mind. 1. Never Feed or Approach Bears, 2. Secure Food, Garbage and Recycling, 3. Remove Bird Feeders when Bears are Active, 4. Never Leave Pet Food Outdoors, 5. Clean and Store Grills, and, 6. Alert Your Neighbors to Bear Activity. See the poster for more information. For more information see the DNR Web site or Bearwise.org.
