Town of Montreat issued the following announcement on Nov. 15.
As you know, the Town has been busy writing and rewriting ordinances involving bears and bear hunting.
Periodically until bear season concludes on January 2, 2023, we will be providing tips and reminders on dealing with this situation.
Two Reminders for you:
- As a point of clarification, the new trash disposal convenience center is open to all property owners, full and part time, as well as their authorized guests and renters. For further details on the trash convenience center, see the October 28 Montreat Minute by CLICKING HERE.
- To report bear related issues, such as trash that bears have gotten into or hunter/dog incidents, email bears@townofmontreat.org summarizing the issue and location. NOTE: This is not for immediate emergency situations, but for reporting only. For immediate issues, call the police dispatch line at 828/250-6670.
