• Bear Sighting:   A black bear has been sighted in the Township this spring in the vicinity of Ravenna Rd. & Noble Ridge.  Don't panic.  Black bears have been seen in the Township for several years now.  Normally a single, teenage male roams through this area and is gone once summer arrives.

While the bears haven't caused any injuries or serious damage to date, it is still necessary to take precautions.  As the bears roam, they will need to seek out food sources.  Be sure to remove any pet food from your yard.  If you notice the bird feeder has been damaged or the food has been eaten overnight (birds will not feed at night, but bears do) you should stop filling the bird feeder and remove that source of food -- the bear will move on.  Please don't try to track or corner a bear -- it may attack.

For more information, please click on one or both of the following, forwarded by the Ohio Division of Wildlife:   Situation:  Black Bear    Guidelines Pamphlet

If you see a bear, please report it to:   Division of Wildlife (District Office)   (330) 644-2293   or to the local Wildlife Officer, Thomas Rowan  (330) 245-3034.    Thank you!
