As for gardens, the animals will never eat the gardens of the B.H. over here. They have deer in Beverly Hills Laguna, and Melrose area, you hit one and you could be in really big trouble. It is part of the city resources in most of these areas. They have to walk for 100 miles over pavement to get out of the national parks and wilderness parks. Out here you need to get a wildlife explorer permit even to drive through the mountains or desert if it is part of a state or national habitat program.
Most areas are members, that is the only way to get state and federal funding.
