Farewell to Huck and Zuni
 The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is sad to announce the passing of our beloved black bears, Huckleberry (Huck) and Zuni.
In the months leading up to their passing, Huck demonstrated increasing strain in his hips and joints from living on only three legs for almost his entire life as well as other age-related conditions that made day-to-day movement difficult for him. Due to complications from his disability, the zoo made the very difficult decision to humanely euthanize him in the presence of his favorite people after enjoying some of his favorite treats. At 21 years old, Huck lived a great life and outlived the typical 15- to 20-year lifespan for wild bears. Huck was a favorite for all our visitors and will be missed greatly.
San Bernardino County completes bridge replacement in Oak Glen damaged by Tropical Storm Hilary
 San Bernardino County Public Works is proud to announce the completion of the Birch Creek Bridge in Oak Glen.
The El Dorado fire that hit the Oak Glen, Yucaipa and Forest Falls areas hard in September 2020, left the area vulnerable to mudflows. The bridge was heavily damaged by mudflows and large boulders that came down from the burn scar during Tropical Storm Hilary in mid-August. San Bernardino County leadership, County Public Works and our partner agencies worked together to provide a quick, high-quality, long-term solution to repair the bridge for residents, business owners and the public, who come up to enjoy the scenic area.
