Tips on Helping Wildlife in Our Area

Did you know you can help wildlife in your everyday activities? Many critters are
killed or mutilated every day by common, household items. What can you do to help prevent these tragedies?

• When you are out fishing or just taking a walk at the neighborhood fishing pond or lake, remove any fishing line, hooks, or sinkers you see discarded.
  

• Before you throw away those plastic rings that keep six-packs of soda together, cut them to prevent animals from getting caught in them. Even though you always throw yours away in the garbage, wild animals can be killed just as easily at your local landfill as at the beach or park.
  

• Yoplait yogurt containers are deadly to furry critters. The shape of the container, smaller at the neck than at the bottom, is just right for getting heads in-but not out. Be sure to totally crush these containers or cut them up.
