Wintergreen is a Bear Smart Community

The primary rules are simple and clear:
 
No bird feeding from April 1 to December 1, never leave food or garbage outdoors, be aware that open doors and windows risk getting a bear inside, and lock all car doors because bears can and do open vehicle doors.
 
Wintergreen’s black bears are out and about. Learn more about these amazing animals and how to keep them wild.
 
Also, check out Matt Overstreet’s presentation on Virginia’s rising American black bear population and the website BearWise.
