The black bear was going through garbage in a populated area off Mount Lemmon Road near Peppersauce Canyon, officials say.
Jamie Donnelly A black bear spotted foraging through garbage on Mount Lemmon last week marks the first reported sighting in southern Arizona this year, officials say.
“Bears in search of food are often attracted to homes and into proximity with people. This close contact puts both humans and bears at risk. Most conflicts are the result of people unintentionally feeding bears, most often by allowing them access to household garbage, bird feeders, garden areas or trees bearing fruit,” Regional Supervisor Raul Vega said in the release.
If you are camping, Game and Fish advises individuals to never take food into a tent. Campers should, however, use deodorizing sprays when storing food in cars and clean themselves thoroughly and change clothes after cooking.
