Your Wild Neighbors is a fun and interesting look at the wildlife most often seen in the DFW area. Mela’s presentation is full of anecdotes from wildlife rehabbers, and it highlights facts specific to different species. She will briefly discuss why certain species thrive in an urban environment. She will also explain why the practice of trapping and relocating animals is no longer approved by wildlife experts. And she will discuss some do-it-yourself exclusion techniques and other recommended procedures to keep them away from your house.
