Ohio Bears Are Back and Building Homes

Black bears are roaring back in Ohio with record sightings this year, marking a major comeback after being wiped out in 1850. Since the 1930s, their numbers have slowly rebounded, and since 1993, wildlife officials have tracked their return—now even spotting breeding females nesting in the northeast. Peak activity hits between late May and early July, so stay safe: secure trash, remove bird feeders, keep pets fed indoors, and clean grills. If you spot one, don’t approach—back away and report it via wildohio.gov or local authorities. This resurgence is a wild win for nature—and a reminder to coexist wisely.
