Do you love skunks as much as we do? Skunks are peaceful, shy animals that would much rather avoid you than confront you. That famous spray? It’s a last line of defence. Give a skunk space & it'll be on its way. Skunks are natural pest controllers, eating wasps, beetles, grubs, mice & garden pests!

And she's gone! Just like that, the hitchhiking marmot who gained media attention across the country recently is back home, in the wild where she belongs! 🌲🏔️ Pls remember, when in the mountains, always bang on your car hood ahead of leaving to make sure there aren't any curious critters stowed away.

🐭It attracts unwanted visitors. Leftover food can draw in everything from rodents, skunks, coyotes & bears. The best way to help wildlife is to let them stay wild. ✅ Secure garbage and compost. ✅ Bring pet food indoors. When we choose not to feed wildlife, we help keep them healthy, wild & safe! 💚

🚗It puts wildlife at risk. Animals that lose their fear of people are more likely to be hit by vehicles and to cause conflicts with humans or pets. 🦆It spreads disease. Feeding brings animals together, making it easier for illnesses and parasites to spread.

A human-fed wild animal is not a healthy wild animal. Feeding wildlife may seem like a kind gesture, but it can do much more harm than good. Human food isn't healthy for wildlife. Foods commonly fed to ducks and geese, like bread & crackers don't provide the nutrition wild animals need.

We’re at capacity for skunks Pls avoid live trapping adult skunks during baby season (May-Aug). If you find kits alone, leave them—mom is likely foraging. Pro tip: Skunks have poor eyesight so can spray if startled- don't leave pets alone at night & make noise in areas with 🦨

Hey, neighbour! Today myself and my Ward 4 team took a visit to @calgarywildlife.bsky.social to learn more about their efforts to rehabilitate sick or injured wildlife. Their partnership with the City of Calgary Parks and Open Spaces has been able to support keeping our parks vibrant with animals.
