Bears Beware!
Hello Cotton Ranch Homeowners Association Members:
Bears are active in the area.
Please note the following important safety information:
Please DO NOT put trash cans outside until your scheduled pickup day - do not put cans out the night before.
Always check that your trash receptacles are properly closed and secured.
Do not leave food or trash in vehicles, and lock vehicle doors.
Beware of the possibility of bears and animals entering your home, if exterior doors are left open. There have recently been several reports of bears entering people‘s homes in Eagle County, looking for food, etc…
Bear activity should be reported to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Thank you,
