Tuftonboro, NH — Water monitors Jane and Alan McKersie and Nancy and Dick Byrd from the Mirror Lake Protective Association joined other participants in the New Hampshire Lakes Lay Monitoring Program conference at the University of New Hampshire on July 10 for a day focused on lake ecology.
Bear sightings around Mirror Lake are becoming more common. NH Fish and Game advises taking down bird feeders; firmly securing trash containers; thoroughly cleaning grills; and not leaving food of any kind in cars, sheds, decks etc. Keep doors and windows locked at night and when you leave the house. Bears will avoid ammonia soaked rags and loud noises such as clanging pots and pans, airhorns, yelling, clapping and such.
