Feed bears and they will eat

Residents encouraged to secure trash and food sources to protect bears

The City of Boulder reminds residents that this is the time of year when bears are foraging for food, in preparation for their winter hibernation. It is important that residents take measures to deter bears by securing any potential food sources on their properties.
Bear-proofing food items and trash is the best way for residents to minimize the chances that bears will show interest in their property. Common bear attractants include garbage, compost, bird feeders, food from outdoor grills, pet food left outside and fruit from trees. The city recommends that residents store garbage and compost bins in a garage or shed until the morning of collection, or keep their waste in a bear-resistant trash container. Residents within the city limits of Boulder can contact Western Disposal at 303-444-2037 to purchase bear-resistant trash containers.
Really stupid idea
Bears that learn that people are a source of food are sometimes killed to keep the public safe. Over the past six years, five bears have been killed in the city because of nuisance behavior or a threat to public safety. Please do your part to ensure that bears are not unnecessarily attracted to your property.
If there is a bear in your backyard, the following tips are recommended:
Keep your distance. Back away slowly from the bear, ensuring it has a clear escape path;
Never run. Running may cause a bear to chase you;
Never approach a bear, or get in between a cub and its mother;
Never provide food to a bear. This teaches it to approach people for food;
Do not let the bear become comfortable around your home; and
Once you are safely inside, do your best to scare the bear away. Yell, clap your hands and make other loud noises to encourgage the bear to leave.
If the bear is threatening human safety, pets or destroying property, call the police at 911. Report past bear sightings and encounters at 303-441-3004.
The city is in the final stages of developing the Black Bear and Mountain Lion component of the Urban Wildlife Management Plan (UWMP) and has prepared a draft version for public input. To view the draft plan and submit feedback, visit www.boulderwildlifeplan.net. Feedback provided prior to Sept. 28 will be incorporated into the Oct. 18 memo for City Council’s consideration.
Boulder police training exercise next week
Sep 23rd
Boulder police officers are scheduled to train at Tom Watson Park next week. The park is located at 6180 N. 63rd St. in Boulder, and although the park will be open to the public, there will be very limited access to the parking lot. The picnic area will remain open, and people will be allowed to park along the frontage road or across the street at Coot Lake.
Officers will train with a driving instructor using a “skid car” in the Tom Watson parking lot. The goal is to allow them to practice their driving skills in simulated bad weather conditions. The skid car is controlled by an instructor, who operates the vehicle’s hydraulic system with a keypad that can cause the car to skid, mimicking wet or icy roads. Police officers are taught how to handle their vehicles in a variety of weather conditions.
The training will take place from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sept. 26 through Sept. 30.
