The Bear Smart team has been advised of two sightings of a bear who can’t bear weight on its left front leg. The last sighting was purportedly in the Cherokee Oaks area. The Bear Smart team has contacted the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and they are seeking additional information. Please contact the Bear Smart Three Rivers team at bears@3rtogether.org as soon as possible if you see the bear.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife staff have approval to collect the motherless cubs who have been wondering about the Totem and Mineral King/Hammond area for the last three weeks. The cubs are extremely thin right now and need to be helped as soon as possible if they are to survive. Please contact CDFW i you spot a cub.
