Learn about commonly encountered wildlife and their intersection with the wild and developed spaces we inhabit.
We share Massachusetts with a diverse range of wildlife that you may have come across exploring your neighborhood or making headlines in the news. Learn about commonly encountered wildlife such as deer, coyote, and raccoons, and their intersection with the wild and developed spaces we inhabit. Find out best practices for maintaining bird feeders and attracting visitors. From amazing pollinators to problematic mosquitoes and ticks, we’ll introduce some incredible insects and how they impact each other. Whether you watch it from your window or your timeline, you’ll learn more about how to peacefully co-exist with these unique neighbors.
