Bear Talks at The Redwoods Fireside Room and Deck
This summer, join Ranger Jill at The Redwoods Fireside Deck every Sunday and Wednesday between 5:00 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. to learn about Yosemite Bears and how to be Bear(y) Aware on the road, at your cabin, on the trail and in the wild!
Our brief outline will focus on a few main principles, some of which are:
Never leave food or toiletries in your vehicle overnight (this includes air fresheners, chewing gum, insect spray, etc.)
Keep first floor windows closed and all doors locked when asleep or when cabin is unoccupied
Never leave food or toiletries outside unattended. You must be within arm’s reach from all food when outside - bears are smart and sneaky. They’re watching you!
If a bear approaches you at your cabin, scare it away by yelling really loudly and making yourself as big as possible. Do NOT abandon your food or ever feed a wild animal.
For all bear sightings, report to the Save-a-Bear hotline at 209-372-0322
Obey speed limit signs everywhere to save Yosemite’s wildlife!
