Sitkans will be doing some spring cleaning this weekend — but it’s not the usual sort of neighborhood sprucing up.
The Sitka Bear Task Force has organized work parties to tackle several bear caches — the places around town where brown bears have been dragging garbage bags over the years, to sort through their loot undisturbed.
Alaska Department of Fish & Game biologist Phil Mooney says cleaning up these so-called “trash caches” is no small job.
