In our community there have been a rise in bear sightings in Lee County. Residents are concerned and want the bears to flee from the area. The thing is that they are leaving their garbage out, which is attracting the bears. If you are leaving your trash out to where it is easy accessible to the animals, then you will a more abundance of them. I think another reason they may be locating to our area is because we are tearing down natural habitats that they call home. I travel I-75 everyday to get to school and all you see is constant construction. If we keep building up and don't leave allotted land to the creatures, then they will invade our area to find food. There are simple ways to prevent the outcry of the bear population invading rural and urban areas of Lee County. Keep trash away from area they can get to and conserve area for these magnificent creatures. We all have our area on this planet, so let's protect it one person at a time.
