Franklin
County is one of 10 areas in Florida that will share in a little over
a half million dollars in grants designed to keep black bears out of
residential neighborhoods.
Franklin
County will only get $3,400.
That
money will pay for hardware to modify regular trash cans to make them
bear-resistant.
Unsecured
trash is the No. 1 reason that Florida black bears enter
neighborhoods and come into conflict with people.
The
state is urging counties to implement laws
requiring residents and businesses to keep trash and other
attractants secure from bears.
Franklin
County does not currently have a bear ordinance in place, but we do
have a problem of bears coming into neighborhoods.
