Lions and tigers and bears—oh my!

Okay, we don’t have lions and tigers in the Wayne National Forest, but we do have bears. And since today is World Bear Day, let’s talk about bears!

While currently uncommon, black bears are found in the Wayne National Forest and throughout eastern Ohio. Black bears were once common across all of Ohio, but unregulated hunting and habitat destruction led to black bears completely disappearing from the state by the 1850s. In the past several decades, black bears from West Virginia and Pennsylvania have been recolonizing parts of eastern Ohio on their own. The majority of these black bears are young males that are trying to find their own territory and potential mates. These young males tend to not stick around an area permanently—especially if there aren’t any females—and instead roam around looking for just the “right” place.

Today, black bears have been recorded in all three units of the national forest. And because black bears tend to roam, a bear could show up just about anywhere! It should be emphasized that encountering a black bear in the national forest is a very rare and noteworthy event. Most bear sightings occur in May through July, when the bears are looking for potential mates.

Black bears are omnivores, meaning they will eat both meat and plants. Plants, fruits, and nuts are actually the primary part of a bear’s diet. Bears also eat bugs, fish, and the occasional small or medium sized mammal.

Unfortunately, human trash is also a food source for bears, and this leads to problems. When a bear begins to associate humans and buildings with food, they can become a nuisance or danger to people. As bears become more common in eastern Ohio, it’s important that residents secure and lock up their trash to deter black bears from rummaging through it.

What do you do if you encounter a black bear? It’s important to stay calm, not run, and move slowly. Firmly speak to the bear so it knows you’re there, make yourself look large, and back away slowly. Most black bears will run away at this point, as humans are scary. However, if the bear begins to approach you, try to scare it away by making yourself as large and imposing as possible by stretching your arms overhead and making loud noises.

Have you ever encountered a black bear in Ohio?

We have recently added a few more privacy trees to our property, which will provide an increased sense of seclusion and comfort for our guests. These fast-growing trees are strategically placed around the perimeter of our land to form a natural barrier that will allow our visitors to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of our cabin even more, especially when the leaves fill in this spring and summer!

While hiking along the trail behind the cabin, we stumbled upon a small shelter that someone had built testing their survival skills. It was a quaint little structure made of branches and leaves, blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. (See if you can find it if you hike the trail 😊)
Then, during a little backroads adventure, we happened upon this cute cow enjoying a mud bath.
