Bear Sightings in Hot Springs Village

Submitted by on

bearSince Hot Springs Village is nestled so close to the Ouachita National Forest it is only natural that wildlife will make an appearance. However, the recent sightings of bears is a cause of concern. We do not do the bears any justice if we teach them that there is a food source for them in the area. We are asking that residents remove any bird feeders and pet food sources as well as securing trash so that we do not lure any bears to our properties. If you do see a bear you are asked to call the HSV Police Department in order to inform them of the bear’s location.
