Wildlife are often called visitors when they appear in our yards, neighborhoods, or communities, but many of these animals have occupied the same landscapes for countless generations. Deer, foxes, cardinals, opossums, skunks, bears, and thousands of other species depend on the forests, grasslands, waterways, and food sources that increasingly overlap with human development.

Coexistence begins with understanding behavior rather than immediately treating wildlife as a problem. Giving animals space, securing food and garbage, protecting habitat, slowing down on roads, and avoiding unnecessary disturbance can reduce conflict while allowing wildlife to continue playing its role within local ecosystems.

The land around us was never meant for humans alone. Every patch of habitat connects countless lives, from pollinators and birds to predators and scavengers. Protecting room for wildlife is a reminder that we are participants in nature, sharing the same water, soil, air, and home with everything living around us.

This sweet gal left two nights ago in a “soft release.” A soft release is when the pre-release door is left open for them to leave if they are ready. I provide some food for a few nights in case they venture back to the safety of the pen. I went out last night and was startled to find a little skunk who’d entered the pen for some snacks!
