Control noxious weeds that can destroy habitat value. Creating wildlife habitat Work with the Division of Wildlife to determine what wildlife live in your area and what species you want to attract. Wildlife need tall grasses, stands of trees and shrubs and fallen trees and branches for cover from predators, migration corridors, nesting and shelter. The fencing you choose can make a big difference to wildlife, and fencing that accommodates both livestock and wildlife doesn't have to cost more. Leaving that 12-inch gap between the highest wires will also help keep animals from getting tangled in the wires.
Domestic cats kill many thousands of small mammals and birds every year.
Dogs on the loose can harass and kill wildlife and livestock. Law enforcement officers are authorized to destroy dogs seen chasing livestock or wildlife - and fine the pet owner. Free-roaming pets are also easy sources of food for predators. Pets should be under control at all times - leashed, kenneled or kept indoors. Putting our food for deer and elk will also lure predators that may prey on the wildlife - and livestock and pets.
