Many
people love – and hate -- wildlife in their backyards. To learn more about
attracting wildlife, and dealing with potential conflicts that may rise, join a
free webinar Friday.
Scott
Hygnstrom, the Douglas R. Stephens Endowed Chair in Wildlife at University of
Wisconsin-Stevens Point, will present, “Wildlife in the Backyard – a
Double-edged Sword.” A UW Extension wildlife specialist, Hygnstrom will
address problems including squirrels in bird feeders and attics, rabbits
damaging gardens and flowerbeds, voles girdling trees and shrubs, moles tearing
up turf and snakes in grass.
The
webinar is open to anyone with an internet connection at https://connect.extension.iastate.edu/fireant. Choose to enter as a guest. The
hour-long program begins at 1 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4. Questions can be submitted
in an online chat room. It is part of a series of webinars on pest
management at eXtension.org
Human-wildlife
coexistence is a program being developed at the Wisconsin Center for Wildlife,
of which Hyngstrom is director in UW-Stevens Point’s College of Natural
Resources.
