Landscaping to Avoid Wildlife Conflicts

Wild animals contribute to our enjoyment of nature, and many species add value to urban and suburban environments. Landscapes are frequently developed to be "environmentally friendly" by providing food and cover for songbirds, waterfowl, squirrels, and other wildlife. Wild animals can, however, damage property or threaten human health and safety. The presence of undesirable species or animal overpopulation often leads to many common wildlife problems associated with urban landscapes.
