Bears

Bears regularly wander through our neighborhood and check to see if our dumpster is easy to open. Please help keep bears away from Forest Glen:

• • Freeze seafood waste if it is not a trash pick up day; wait until Sunday or Wednesday evenings to put in dumpster.

  • Do not leave our dumpster lid propped open with trash.

    • Please call the property manager if the dumpster is too full for the lid to close.

    • To avoid filling the dumpster, please take your large, bulky, or oversized trash directly to the dump.

  • Do not hang bird feeders, nor leave food, around the property (including pet food)

Eagles

An eagle (or two) perches predictably in a tree just on the fringe of the western parking lot. Still more eagles frequent the surrounding forest. Here is some information about Bald Eagles and protections:

• Eagle Permits
