Florence Code Enforcement has increased monitoring for bear activity throughout the community. Our team will notify citizens who may be potentially affected and will distribute the attached informational flyer to help everyone stay aware and prepared.

We ask all residents to remain diligent in keeping properties clear of trash, food waste, or any debris that may attract bears, in accordance with the Florence Municipal Code. Prompt cleanup is essential for public safety and for minimizing wildlife conflicts.
