The Wild 5 Checklist

Wildlife needs our help—and you can make a big difference. Start with these 5 actions:

Leave Nothing Behind

When you enjoy wild spaces, be sure to pack out trash, equipment, fishing lines & hooks—to prevent entanglement and injuries.

Keep Pets Away from Wildlife

Leash dogs and keep cats indoors—so wild animals remain undisturbed in their natural homes.

Bird-Proof Your Home

Put up window decals, dim lights & clean feeders—to protect birds from collisions & illness.

Say No to Poisons

Toxic bait doesn’t just kill mice & rats—it harms the hawks, owls, and foxes that eat them.

Ditch Glue Traps

Use humane options like repellents and barriers—so you don’t hurt innocent wildlife by mistake.
