Keep Tahoe Bears Wild!
The Lake Tahoe Basin is bear country. Always store food and garbage properly to keep bears from associating humans with food sources and never feed any wild animal. Once bears become habituated to human food sources, they seek it out, which can end badly for our furry neighbors. Learn how to peacefully coexist with bears and do your part to keep Tahoe bears safe!
