A message from First Selectman Cathryn Silver-Smith Regarding Bear in Ashford

Fellow Ashford Citizens,

Keeping our citizens, pets, and livestock safe is on all of our minds as we hear of bear sightings nearby.  Please consider viewing these two links from the State of CT DEEP regarding black bear in Connecticut.  They offer safety tips for your yard as well as for camping outdoors.
