A resident reported a black bear in the yard off Hill Road on a Richmond Facebook group. The village of Richmond has not received any official bear sighting reports but is aware that residents mainly in the unincorporated areas have seen a bear, a spokesperson for the village said.
Last month, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources reported multiple black bear sightings in Lake County. Wildlife biologists believe the same bear appeared in Antioch and in Gurnee.
In the case of a bear encounter, the department advises to not run, surprise or approach the bear. Back away slowly and go inside or get into a vehicle, if possible. Wisconsin's black bear population is"considerably higher than it was 30 years ago," according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Wisconsin data reports to currently have more than 24,000 bears, a 15,000 increase from 1989.
