FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Fayetteville Parks and Recreation posted a warning on social media after a black bear and her cub were spotted in Mount Sequoyah Woods Park on July 12.
In the post, Parks and Rec recommend caution if using the woods. They also note a prior black bear sighting in the area a few weeks back. A reminder to dog owners is also issued as leashes are required in the park and a loose dog may agitate bears.
Parks and Rec also say bears should not be fed and any outdoor food source like bird or deer feeders should be secured as bears can become used to human sources of food.
If you see a bear, Parks and Rec asks to contact them at 479-444-3471.
