Resources for Wildlife

One of the most difficult issues that homeowners face in terms of animal welfare is how to deal with wildlife who have become "pests" in our homes and in our yards. Most often, it is the homeowner who has inadvertently lured the animal(s) onto their property whether through easily accessible trash cans, tasty garden plants, or a dry place to sleep.  Often, the best method of dealing with wildlife is to eliminate those lures which bring them into conflict with humanity.  Check out the resources below for more information about dealing with wildlife welfare issues on your property or in your community.
