Good evening Quail Hollow! Please be aware that there are now THREE bears in the neighborhood. What appears to be a "mama", a juvenile, and a cub are roaming the area, and do not seem to be afraid of people.... Sadly, their whole habitat is being taken away by building, so they are down to very small pieces of wooded area, and they are definitely claiming it, both at night and in the daylight!
So, please be very aware of your surroundings anytime you are outside your home. Try not to do anything to attract them (leave "fresh" food in your garbage can, have pet food out on lanai, have garbage cans with "drippings" on the inside, etc), and definitely do not approach them. Please be very mindful of your kids and pets, as again, they are not afraid of people and have approached.
Speaking of kids and pets.... we continue to get complaints about kids going onto other people's properties/into their yards without permission, and off leash dogs approaching leashed dogs and getting aggressive. Please make sure that any animals outside of your home are leashed so that DAS does not have to be called, and please make sure that your kids know they can't be in other people's yards without permission from the owner. Let's all try to be good neighbors, but more importantly, stay safe! Thanks!
