With the growing number of bear sightings in the Town and Village of Saugerties, we thought it would be a good idea to point out some online resources that provide a refresher about how to live responsibly with your black bear neighbors.
Do you know what to do when you encounter a black bear, in your travels?
What's the best approach to how to attract birds to your yard, and yet not create a "bear magnet" in the process?
Did you know that in a recent study, more than half of all incidents involving people and black bears also involved dogs?
Consider some quick reading material, to make you, your family and your pets safer, in an environment where black bears are frequent visitors to our homes and neighborhood.
Visit the "Be BearWise" page on this website -- https://saugerties.ny.us/bears -- for more information.
Photo on the right is from a posting on the Saugerties Village Facebook page, by Rose Almindo Benoit, showing a black bear dining out, on Shady Lane.
Welcome to Our Village
Nestled in the Hudson Valley, Saugerties borders the Hudson River to the east, and offers views of the storied and scenic Catskill Mountains to the west.
Our Village is historic ... we have the first nationally registered Historic Village Business District.
Our Village is vibrant ... alive with destination businesses, with cuisine from down-home to high-end, with a world-class library, boutiques, two bookstores, a pickle store, multiple/tempting bakeries, a lighthouse that is a hyper-popular B&B, an upscale wine shop, a great bagel shop (to die for!) and beloved hardware, shoe (ever heard of a "pedorthist"?), chocolate, book and hot dog shops.
The Village has always had a strong arts and culture core. On that strong base, newly arrived professionals have added a number of enjoyable art, music and dance events to our Village's mix.
So yeah, we're proud our blend of history and also of how we lean into the future. If you're here, find out more about your Village on this website. If you haven't had the pleasure of a visit to our Village, the welcome mat is out. Come and explore!
