This week as many as three bears in the Hammond/Mineral King/Sierra Drive area have entered a home and damaged other properties. These bears have become accustomed to eating our garbage, and they have recently learned that structures contain even more high-calorie food. Bears are becoming more bold in the North Fork and Cherokee Oaks areas as well. Take steps to take to protect our property and our bears.
