Cumberland County Animal Control was called Friday (6/6/2025) after a large bear was spotted at a residence on Pine Breeze Drive in Monterey. The homeowner said the bear had destroyed his bird feeders early that morning and he had several pictures from his security and trail cameras. Deputy Grove reports the pictures showed a black bear that weighted approximately 300 to 350 pounds. The Deputy informed the man that he would contact TWRA and notify them of the sighting.
Bears are on the move in our area. Recently in Fairfield Glade, a black bear with cubs was seen near the Good Samaritan Society senior living facility. There were no immediate reports of damage or interactions with humans.
