Please remember to secure your garbage cans, be watchful of your children, and do not approach or feed any bear. If you see a bear in Wilderness Rim, first call 911 to report the sighting and then contact the WRA Office. The 911 dispatcher will notify both the Sheriff’s Department and the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
