Suburban Wildlife Presentation

Wildlife and human interaction has risen dramatically as development has sprawled from the fringes of our cities out to areas once considered rural.  Across Massachusetts, urban residents are seeing wildlife once seen only in rural and undeveloped areas.  Many suburban and urban residents feel enriched to see wildlife.  However, as wildlife populations increase, encounters are no longer at a distance and new health risks introduced by wildlife become a concern.  Some individuals in the public feels personally threatened and the wild animal that was once an enjoyable experience now becomes a nuisance.  Join us for an educational program facilitated by Karl vonHone.
