Bear encounters are on the rise
Surge likely fueled by increased access to human food sources. Statewide, reports of bear-human encounters are on a precipitous rise. Just six years ago, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) considered a year with 500-700 reports of bear-human incidents to be notably high. But, in 2022, the agency received a total of 1,457 reports, and this year, as of last week, they have already received over 1,000. “These are huge increases, which have been straining our resources and also creating a lot of stressful and frustrating situations for Vermonters,” said Jaclyn Comeau, a Vermont Fish & Wildlife biologist and black bear project leader with ANR.
