Bear sighting
PHOTO BY KATYA LAGUN
Katya Lagun, a manager at Generac Power Systems on Hinesburg Road in South
Burlington, last week grabbed this photograph of a bear near the facility. With trails
and bushes nearby, Lagun urged caution when walking around the grounds, particularly
in those areas. “While it’s indeed a rare sight, especially in our neighborhood, we
must acknowledge that we live in an area rich with wilderness, and encounters with
wildlife can occur,” Lagun said.
