Bear Sightings Growing in Long Valley – Have You Seen Them?

Just about every day a resident in Long Valley is sending out an email blast to warn neighbors or posting a status on social media to alert everyone that Yogi is in the area.

From discarded trash cans to demolished bird feeders, there's no question this year's stock of bruins has come out of hibernation on the prowl.

Let this be your community alert system – when you see a bear in the neighborhood, post a comment below and tell your neighbors where, when, and about how big the bear was. 

Also, if you're fortunate enough to grab a photo or video, please send it over to jason.koestenblatt@patch.com.
