## Resource

A bear in Stowe, Vermont, was euthanized after becoming dangerously comfortable around humans—sniffing out food in homes and businesses. This isn’t an isolated case; officials expect dozens more similar incidents by summer’s end. The real culprit? Our behavior. Bears are smart, adaptable, and learn survival tactics from each other—and we’re unintentionally teaching them that our neighborhoods are easy targets. From unsecured trash to bird feeders left out too long, we’re creating a recipe for conflict. Vermont’s healthy bear population—now up to 8,000—isn’t the problem; it’s how we coexist. The solution? We must collectively step up—securing waste, changing habits, and taking responsibility as stewards of these wild neighbors.
