Urban Wildlife and Related Systems

Increasingly people are moving from the cities. The residential area people are moving to the rural fringes. There are growing needs for wildlife management at the rural fringe. Some of the issues are with second homes or vacation places in the urban fringe. Others are with animals living in and moving between the city and the rural areas. Others are with urban people who seek the benefits and services provided by the wildlands.

Quarries, roadways, powerlines, farm yards, and industrial areas ... all have wildlife that can be managed ... to increase or decrease it. The variety of conditions are so great that it is difficult to generalize. The key activities are within gardens and for bird houses, feeders, and bird baths. There are needs to reduce effects of pests (e.g., pigeons and auto collisions).

Landscaping can improve energy conservation in buildings and provide food and nesting sites. Free-roaming pets are a significant problem and poor sanitation can attract many animals that may be come pests.
