Bear Resistant Trash Bins

Coming soon!

Spring is right around the corner and bears will be coming out of hibernation soon.

In partnership with Boulder County Parks & Open Space, Lyons is one of the beneficiaries of a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Grant. Our shared goals are: to broaden our communities’ efforts to reduce conflicts, update human habits, and test out solutions that are working in other communities.

What does this mean for you as a resident of Lyons? Certain homeowners in areas of Lyons may be eligible for a bear-resistant trash can at a significantly reduced price. More information and an online order form will be ready next week, with local pickup scheduled for late April.

When Mountain Lions Meet People

A message from Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Mountain lions are generally quiet, and elusive. They tend to live in remote, primitive country with plentiful deer and adequate cover. Such conditions exist in mountain subdivisions, urban fringes, and open spaces. Much of Colorado, including the Front Range, is prime mountain lion country. This simple fact is a surprise to many residents and visitors. There's been a recent increase in mountain lion sightings in areas of Boulder and Larimer Counties. Some reports also include deer that have been cached by lions. If you live/recreate in lion country, please remember it's YOUR responsibility to take necessary precautions to COEXIST with these creatures:

- Avoid times lions are most active (dusk & dawn).
- Never leave pets unattended and keep on leash at all times.
- Do not attract wildlife, feeding animals such as deer is not only illegal, but also attracts their natural predators as well. Predators follow prey.
- Make sure areas where you come and go are well lit.
