Living With Urban Wildlife
|
People who live in or visit Arizona can expect to see many types of wildlife. However, more and more often, wild animals are venturing out toward the areas where people live. You can usually enjoy wildlife by watching from a distance, but sometimes wildlife encounters involve conflict. Join us for a program by wildlife educator Bill Kaufman, who will present information on landscape practices, wildlife conservation, and aspects of wildlife management and safety around the home. The program will help to foster understanding and appreciation of wildlife, while keeping both people and animals safe. This program is sponsored by the Arizona Department of Game and Fish, TucsonBotanical Gardens, Tucson Audubon Society, and Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation. |
