Where The Wild Bears Are: An Interactive Map

Look at the most recent bear sightings in Chatham Township.

Chatham Patch has created an interactive map of bear sightings in the township using information from the Chatham Township Police and information sent in by you, our readers.

Some of these sightings are likely the same bear sighted in multiple locations. You'll see from the map that some sightings were on the same neighborhood on the same day.

Our thanks to those who wrote in with their bear sightings, including Jim Connelly who sent in this picture of a bear in his backyard from Monday.

If you have seen a bear in your neighborhood, email laura.silvius@patch.com with the date, time and location (and a photo, if you have it!) and we'll add it to our map!
