The initiative will inform residents about local wildlife, share research on urban wildlife behavior, and highlight how personal activities impact the environment. Programs, delivered via HOA meetings and family events, will promote non-toxic pest control alternatives and educate on preventing negative wildlife encounters. The project emphasizes the beneficial role of animals, encouraging environmentally-friendly practices for safe coexistence. Its core purpose is to foster an attitude of stewardship for wildlife, natural habitat, and parkland. An education coordinator, hired by Mountains Restoration Trust, will lead this effort in collaboration with NPS staff.

| Description: | This project will create a community education program to inform park neighbors about local wildlife, to share information obtained through our research on the behavior of urban wildlife in the area, and convey information to the public about the effects that their personal or household activities can have on the environment. We will provide programs for park neighbors through HOA and community meetings and family weekend events. These programs will provide the community with alternatives for controlling rodents or other unwanted pests that do not rely on poisons, specifically anticoagulant rodenticides. Programs will also educate the community on how to prevent negative encounters with local wildlife and emphasize the beneficial role of these animals within our ecosystem. These educational programs will be designed to encourage communities to engage in environmentally-friendly practices and provide them with information on how to reduce wildlife conflicts and safely coexist with wildlife. The goal of the program will be to foster an attitude of stewardship for wildlife, natural habitat, and parkland throughout SMMNRA. Mountains Restoration Trust will hire the education coordinator to oversee this project. This coordinator will work closely with NPS staff to develop and administer programs. |
