Keep an eye out for wildlife
Burlington is known for having black bears, bobcats, cayotes, and foxes roaming around. We see bears in the woods behind our house fairly often, but so far they have stayed outside the fenced in area. Keep an eye out, don't leave food or trash cans outside, and stay at a safe distance! Call Burlington Animal Control for assistance as needed. (860) 960-6600
