Building an Appreciation and Understanding of Wildlife
We give people across the state the opportunity to build positive connections with Wisconsin’s wildlife, including helping residents address nuisance wildlife and property damage caused by wildlife, providing programs on the ecology, management, and conservation of wildlife, and by providing guidance on sick, injured, and perceived orphaned wildlife.
UW Urban Canid Project
If you spot a coyote or red fox in Madison, report it on iNaturalist! With your help, we are studying the behaviors of urban coyotes and foxes to be able to proactively manage for peaceful coexistence. With the right knowledge, living with wild urban canids can be safe, enjoyable, and rewarding.
