Bears, Before in Bedford
Back in 2014, a bear was seen on Chestnut Lane then captured by a critter cam in the woods off Carlisle Road, and in November 2017, evidence of a bear’s visit was apparent at Chip-In Farm, and at a nearby residence. At Chip-in, a dormant bee hive maintained by Doug Townsend was destroyed.
