Are you a new wildlife professional or student who is interested in learning how to answer inquiries from the public regarding wildlife damage or nuisance wildlife problems, such as, “how do I get the bats out of my attic?”, “what’s eating my vegetable garden?”, or “how can I prevent deer damage to my crops?”? If so, then this technical training is for you and anyone else who would like to learn more about dealing with wildlife damage situations. The training will include indoor presentations in the morning on the principles of wildlife damage, laws and regulations, and an overview of the agencies/organizations that are available to help. The afternoon session will be outside and will include hands-on demonstrations of techniques used to reduce and/or solve common wildlife damage issues.
