wildlife on the web

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has launched a new website dedicated to Living With Wildlife in Illinois. The site offers useful information about coexisting with the state’s wildlife, including: Identifying animals that live in your area Helping orphaned or injured wildlife Preventing encounters that could be dangerous to you, or to wild animals

Although the site’s focus is wildlife native to Illinois, much of the information is helpful no matter where you live. Check it out here.

(And for all you dwellers in other states, it’s worth finding your state’s website to get more familiar with the species you share a state with.)

(Also, “on the web”? Who still says that? Sorry. I can’t resist the alliteration. It’s a problem.)
