WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) A black bear was spotted in a tree in Wausau Monday near Grant Elementary School. A work crew noticed the bear while they tried to cut branches near power lines.
Neighbor Michael Verick went outside and saw the bear outside a vacant house next to his on 4th Avenue. He told WAOW NewsLine Nine, “The guys trimming the trees called the police and then even the DNR came over.”
Department of Natural Resources chose not to bother the bear and told Verick it would come down when it’s ready.
He said the school made sure all children went inside the building for precaution.
