Bears feast on ripening berries and many travel great distances to locate dependable food sources. Our Tranquility bears don’t need to travel far to find a tasty treat.

Be “Bear Aware” as they begin to forage in our neighborhood.

Bears are big and trying to get bigger, so they need to find and eat as many berries as possible.  Once a bear finds a good patch it will spend many hours patiently stripping off the berries with its tongue and lips.

Berries, called soft mast, are a very important food source for bears. Seasonal berries ripen in July and August and persist into September in Tranquility.
