Hello Lincoln,
Curious why State officials brought the bear East to Lincoln, an overall more densely developed and populated area? And perhaps they could have given the town a heads up? I love Wildlife but this is a bit perplexing.
Kind Regards,

Sent from a mobile device - please excuse typos and errors Hello neighbors,
I usually let my kids play outside unsupervised, but since a bear roamed into our yard, I have decided to supervise my kiddos more closely. Our neighbor’s dog chased the bear out of our yard and the bear scrambled up a tree. This was on Sunday.
We do not have bird feeders.
Be safe,

Linda, thanks so much for sharing! The information is very helpful.
Best, Lisa Paul I talked with the Massachusetts bear biologist today. He said this bear was moved from Worcester where he was wandering into a very developed area not because he was aggressive or violent. He's about two years old and has moved about 35 miles in the last week. They have no intention of moving him out of Lincoln. He said we should get used to having bears in our town. The likelihood is that we will see more.
He said to take down your bird feeders and bring in your trash.
Regarding dogs, he said there is more risk that your dog will be attacked by a coyote than by a bear. However, he said if you have a dog that wanders or does not come to you when called, or who is aggressive, he suggests keeping it on a leash.
He also said there is no need to notify them of the current location because they have no plans to move the bear.
I hope this is helpful.
Linda
