Living with Wildlife

​​​​When natural food sources are scarce, wildlife will search for food which often leads to sightings in residential areas.

To reduce the potential of wildlife encounters here are some tips:

• Limit food sources
• Keep barbecues clean and covered when not in use
• Secure garbage in durable plastic containers with locking lids
• Store garbage indoors until collection day
• Maintain compost in containers that keep wildlife out while allowing for ventilation
