CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – The California Department of Fish and Wildlife will hold a “bear aware” presentation for area residents this week.
The event will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 16, in the clubhouse at Orchard Shores Homeowners Association, 500 Orchard Shores Drive in Clearlake Oaks.
“We have been getting several bear calls over the last few months in this area and felt the need to do some community education,” said CDFW representative Janice Mackey.
Mackey said the 90-minute talk CDFW staff will give on Thursday will cover bear biology, human/bear conflicts, food attractants and public safety, Mackey said.
CDFW will host the presentations in other locations if there are 15 or more people planning to attend, according to Mackey.
