How to get the message to our guests on being Bear Aware in Girdwood Alaska?

Hello Girdwood Community Air B&Bers,

 

My name is Lynne' Doran and I own Alyeska Hideaway Log Cabins.  I am working with the Bear Aware group  in our town to assist in getting Bear Aware information in all Air BnB/Nightly Rental properties so we can assist guests on proper garbage handling and how to be safe in the woods.

 

The Bear Aware group received a grant to print magnets with tips on what to do and my goes is to get this in every property.  Please send me a message so I can get you this magnet and some reading material for your property.

 

Let's avoid the killing of innocent bears due to irresponsible garbage handling this summer.

 

Thanks,

Lynne'

We are in the vast mountainous wilderness of Mendocino County CA

We have bears galore, and thanks to our trail cams we know them all by sight. We greet guests at the car with the request "please do not leave any food or scented items in the car, we have bears. They know how to open cars, with their "can opener" claws. It gets their attention!

 

We also have mountain lions, as do you, am sure!
