🐻 remain still and talk calmly so that it knows you are human and not a prey animal
🐻 bears may also ‘bluff-charge,’ running towards you and turning away at the last moment – a scream or sudden movement might trigger an attack
🐻 pick up children and stay in a group

It's that time of the year again when tick season is upon us. 😬

Always check yourself and your pets for ticks after spending time outside, and promptly remove any ticks you find. Stay safe and enjoy the great outdoors!
