Early this morning, a young American black bear was spotted climbing a tree in the Prospector neighborhood. Officers from the Park City Police Department responded to the scene and located the bear before notifying wildlife officers and biologists with the Utah Department of Natural Resources to assess the situation.

The Park City Fire District also responded with a ladder truck, allowing wildlife officials to safely tranquilize and remove the bear from the tree. The bear will be relocated to a more suitable habitat away from residential areas and busy roadways.
