Ridgewood NJ, The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife is reminding the public of important safety tips when around black bears.

Never feed a bear. It is dangerous and illegal. Fed bears get used to being around people and may need to be killed to protect public safety.

Follow these tips to minimize encounters with bears:

• Secure trash and eliminate obvious sources of food, such as pet food, easy-to-reach bird feeders, or food residue in barbecue grills.

• Use certified bear-resistant garbage containers, if possible. Otherwise, store all garbage in containers with tight-fitting lids and place them along the inside walls of a garage, the basement, a sturdy shed or other secure area.
