Reporting Wildlife Contact
We are the natural place to live and with that comes responsibilty of cohabitating with wildlife in rural areas and at times, the urban core. Let's do our part to ensure we are not luring animals into neighbourhoods unnecessarily. Put garbage, birdseed, compost and pet food away, and keep fruit from trees off the ground.
