Living with Wildlife

These animals may be searching for food, rearing young, or seeking mates.
Humans can attract wildlife by providing resources (e.g. food) - sometimes without even knowing it.

As the human population grows, human-wildlife interactions and wildlife sightings may increase.
In California, one example is coyotes and foxes in urban environments.

Who do I call to report sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife?

Contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or facility to report sick, injured or orphaned wildlife.

Most rehabilitators are not "on-call" (24 hours).
Most rehabilitators do not capture or transport wildlife.
Most rehabilitators are volunteers. Please be kind.

You may also contact a local animal services division for information or possible assistance.
CDFW proudly works with agencies, organizations, and volunteers to to ensure quality rehabilitation of injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife for the purpose of release to the wild.

How do I “remove” nuisance wildlife from my property?

Wildlife provide valuable ecosystem benefits.
Many "nuisance" species are harmless and may be managed to reduce conflict. Safe co-existence is possible.

Contact the UC Agricultural & Natural Resources Integrated Pest Management Program for assistance.
Wildlife cannot be trapped and released elsewhere.
Wildlife may be "removed" through non-lethal deterrence or lethal methods like trapping.

Fish & Game Code § 4152

Nongame mammals, black-tailed jackrabbits, muskrats, non-native red foxes, and red fox squirrels found to be injuring growing crops or other property may be taken at any time or in any manner in accordance with this code and regulations Inspection and removal shall be done by the person who sets the trap or the owner of the land where the trap is set or an agent of either by the owner or tenant of the premises or employees and agents in immediate possession of written permission from the owner or tenant thereof.

Who do I call to report wildlife that damage my property or harm my animals?

Report wildlife that cause damage to your property or harm your domestic animals to the CDFW Wildlife Incident Reporting online system or Regional Office.

2001 Budget Analysis: Housing and Community Development (2240)
would not make a significant impact. Improving locally controlled infrastructure financing tools or better targeting
the existing state programs would be more effective approaches to financing local infrastructure projects. (Reduce Item
2240-001-0001 by $200,000 and Item 2240-101-0001 by $20 million.) 
The Governor proposes a one-time appropriation of $20.2 million for a new Central Valley Infrastructure Grant Program. The
program would provide grants of up to $1 million to local governments in the Central Valley for selected infrastructure projects
related to water and wastewater systems, utilities, streets, or communications. Grants would only be given to projects determined to
promote economic development, and the department expects to fund no more than 25 projects with the funds. We have a number
of concerns with this proposal, which we outline below.
Does Nothing to Address Underlying Problem. Infrastructure funding for local governments is generally a local responsibility in
California. The administration has proposed this program presumably with the belief that Central Valley local governments are
unable to fulfill this responsibility on their own. However, the program would do nothing to change the underlying problem facing
these local governments—the difficulties communities face in financing their own infrastructure needs. Moreover, it is unclear why
other rural governments outside of the Central Valley, or local governments more generally, do not face the same problems. Yet,
the program would provide no funds to these other communities.
Other State Programs Already Exist. Two state programs already exist with very similar purposes to the proposed program.

The CDBG Program. Most large cities and counties receive CDBG funds directly from the federal government and can use
the funds at their discretion for a variety of housing and economic development projects. The CDBG program administered by
HCD provides federal funds to small jurisdictions (cities with populations less than 50,000 and counties less than 200,000)
through a competitive application process. The HCD component of CDBG will distribute an estimated $47 million to local
governments in the budget year. While the federal government sets basic guidelines for the distribution of these funds, the
Bill Text - AB-132 Postsecondary education trailer bill.
(5) For purposes of this section, the program is encouraged to prioritize assistance for California city, county, or city and county animal control agencies or shelters, societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and humane societies that are current on relevant data reporting required under law, and that offer the greatest likely return on one-time investment of state funds.(b) In designing and promoting the services outlined in subdivision (a), the program shall seek input from relevant stakeholders to ensure that program services and grants effectively reach a wide geography throughout the state, and that regions in northern, central, and southern California, including both urban and rural areas, are adequately considered, with an emphasis on addressing the lifesaving needs within these
	 regions.(c) The program may give additional consideration to working with communities that do any of the following:(1) Seek to maximize the number of animals whose lives can be saved.(2) Demonstrate partnerships among public, private, corporate, or nonprofit entities.(3) Emphasize volunteer engagement and community outreach components for purposes of increasing the sustainability of the program’s investments.(d) (1) On or before March 31, 2023, the University of California shall report to the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature and the Department of Finance on the program. At a minimum, the report shall include all of the following
	 information:(A) The amount spent on each type of activity set forth in paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, of subdivision (a).(B) Pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), a summary of the outreach activities that were supported by funds.(C) Pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), a list of shelters that received in-person assessments and in-depth training.(D) Pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), a list of grant recipients, along with each recipient’s grant amount, the amount of matching funds, if any, and a description of the funded activities.(E) An analysis of the program’s impact on the number of animals that are euthanized for all shelters participating in the
	 activities described in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (a).
Mental Health Summit - VA News
He says: “It’s our country’s most sacred obligation is to prepare and equip the troops we send into harm’s way, and to care for them and their families when they return home.” The second part of that sacred obligation is ours to fulfill at VA. And it comes back to the promise our country makes whenever someone signs up to serve in the military. It’s a promise that’s as simple as it is fundamental. If you serve us, we’ll serve you when you come home. If you take care of us, we’ll take care of you. If you fight for us, we’ll fight for you. And in times like these—keeping that promise to Veterans has never been more important.
This is our promise, not just in September during Suicide Prevention Month. It’s our promise every single day. Like Steve wrote, thank you for your dedication to Veterans. The Veterans you help are blessed to have you. Very blessed. I look forward to continuing this important work, together. God bless you all. And God bless our Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors. Now let’s get to the panel discussion and your questions.

A family that suffered the greatest loss turned its pain into purpose to help others.
