WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
Well, guess who’s back out in the woods after his winter sleep? That’s right. The black bears are back in full-force. I noticed a line of garbage pales knocked over in Accord a couple of days ago. The bear in the photo I saw near Olivebridge. He wouldn’t leave me alone as I was treating a hemlock tree for hemlock woolly adelgid on a member’s property.
